Soul Rest

I rest when I admit and surrender the weight,

Admit that I’m not strong enough…

Admit that I’m not big enough; good enough

Admit that I possess nothing that is sufficient

Not by myself…never on my own.

I rest when I step outside of me and move toward HIM.

Do I take what He offers to me, freely?

In such, I find divine rest and learn.

Resting in His understanding;

Basking underneath His gentleness and self-control

Tucked under His wing; dwelling safely

In the midst of His power, I find serenity.

I am promised abundant rest in Him,

I only have to come; accept it gladly, never reluctantly

Not just mere rest in body or mind,

But the promised rest that He offers my soul.

Soul rest, comes only from my Lord Jesus

It is HIS kind of rest, through and through.

Released from the weight of the world

Beyond rest for our mere physical burdens

Rest from eternal separation and emptiness,

Soul rest – eternally abiding in Him.

Unweighted by the chains of our sin or the law

Free to rest in Him; His love, and His sovereignty.

Soul Rest ~ the only kind that is real.

Soul Rest ~ The only kind that really matters.

Soul Rest ~ The only kind that is sufficient.

Soul Rest ~ The only place we can really call ….. Home.
