resting in a comma

Jesus said...
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

According to the dictionary, a comma is a break; a punctuation mark that represents a slight pause.  According to the Word, i believe, it is a break in life; a pause in an ever turning and hectic world filled with obligations, schedules, conflicts and activities; a time of rest.  A moment of rest with Him can provide the fuel/strength needed to keep going, especially during difficult times.
 

Sometimes God interjects a comma in our life to slow us down and to refocus and rest in Him. I believe the snow and ice this week is His comma sent directly from heaven... perfectly timed to help us rest and recuperate from the crazy flurry in our world. I prefer a break to a breakdown any day. Don't you? 

And have you noticed when commas are used in sentences, the sentences are smoothly extended to greater lengths, as well as a clearer understanding?  Do you think that can be true regarding life too?  Listen, Jesus, our Teacher, believes in commas and calls us to Him to get needed REST.  And that Truth, my friends, ends with a period, not a comma.

Thank You, Father.  I am resting in You.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love, do and REST like we believe it,
