comma power

 Jesus said...

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

How was your comma?  Or in other words, how was your Spring Break? According to the dictionary, a comma is a break; a punctuation mark that represents a slight pause.  

According to the Word, it is a break in life; a pause in an ever turning and hectic world filled with obligations, schedules and activities; a time of rest.  A moment of rest with Him can provide the fuel needed to keep going, especially during hard times. 
Hopefully, Spring Break provided the restful comma you needed.  Yet for some, the comma was scratched out, and life kept moving full speed ahead with unexpected sadness, loss, hurt and confusion.  And for you, my friends, i am praying God's protection over you to include an extra layer of comfort and peace as we return to finish out the school year.

Do you need a comma now?  Sometimes God interjects a comma in our life to slow us down, to refocus and rest in Him.  I think you will agree a break is better than a breakdown.  
When we use commas in sentences, the sentences provide clarity and important detail before we reach the end.  Do you think that can be true regarding life too?  Listen, Jesus calls us to Him to get needed REST.  And that Truth ends with a period, not a comma.

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