Recover Your Life

We all have busy days. But we don’t have to have over-busy lives. 

We don’t need more hours in the day. Instead, we need to realign our schedules with God’s design for what brings real life. 

If your regular rhythm of life is stuck in overdrive and you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s helpful to remember God never set that pace. He wants you fully present—not fully exhausted.  

Listen to this abundant invitation from Jesus: Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”  (Matthew 11:30 MSG) 

I love how specific, practical, and kind the offer of Jesus is. He invites us to walk with him, work with him, and watch how he does it. In other words, it isn’t about a morning devotional and then we’re on our own. Jesus invites us to do life together. At his pace. As he leads.  

When we do, we find real rest. Live freely and lightly. Experience the unforced rhythms of grace.  

When we do, we recover our lives.
