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 11:28-30 The Message)

Don’t be obsessed with getting more material things. Be relaxed with what you have. Since God assured us, “I’ll never let you down, never walk off and leave you,” we can boldly quote,

God is there, ready to help;
I’m fearless no matter what.
Who or what can get to me?

(Hebrews 13:5-6 The Message)

Unconditional love
Never leaves me
Empty,
Nor forsakes me.
Deep love of
Immanuel
Now
Graces me and always will.

un(flappable): calm in a crisis

He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed. (Psalm 107:29 NIV)
