Matthew 11:28-30 reads, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.””

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in our day to day, whether that includes work, school, raising children, etc. while those are all important tasks, rest needs to be a daily part of our lives. Not as a checklist, but for our sakes & to grow as christians in our relationship, love + knowledge of our Heavenly Father.

Rest is good. 🌿
