Matthew 11:28-29 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (NASB)
Hello,
There is a definitive difference when I am holding one of my children and they are holding onto me versus when they are just being held. When they are scared or upset you can feel that transition in their arms as they quit holding on and just let themselves be held. As a parent, there are few better feelings than when your kids just rest and let their guards completely down so they can be held. It shows their trust in a real and full way. They stop showing concern about their way, they stop getting worked about things that have or will happen – and just rest.
I do believe that is what God wants from us. Yes, we have to hold onto Him as we go through life – but we need to find the times where we can just be held. We need to illustrate love and trust in Him, where we can quiet our concerns and just enjoy His love, and fully rest in it.
Have a blessed day,
Will Hill
