Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,”
What will you do to receive the rest He wants to give you?
Will you come to Him?
The truth is very simple.
Satan uses deception and lies to steal from you and keep you fearful, confused and trapped.
The truth is that God is not mad with you.
God is not punishing you.
The truth is that God loves you and wants you to be free.
He has already done, through Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection to the throne-room of God, EVERYTHING necessary for your forgiveness, healing and freedom.
He did it ALL on the cross.
It is FINISHED.
There is one simple response from you needed to receive all of this.
You have to come and receive it.
You have to believe Him, ask and receive – and all His promises are already YES and AMEN because of Jesus.
He desires that you will simply believe and receive what He has done for you.
Put out your hands in faith and receive therefore His Rest, His Peace, His forgiveness, His healing, His Love, His Joy, His Freedom, His Hope and all the countless blessings from the Love of Almighty God, available to EVERYBODY who believes, asks and receives.
It is simple and beautiful Truth.
John 20:21-23
Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Every Friday, I join an online Christian writing community, Five Minute Friday. We are given a one-word prompt and write – unscripted, unedited, pure free-write – for 5 minutes. The prompt this week is RECEIVE.

I think that secretly we all are brought up to believe that resting is inherently lazy and wrong. Somehow only allowed if one is sick. God’s handbook says otherwise of course.

A good reminder Dawn if the need to go to the Father and receive. Yes, the enemy tries anything to keep us from running to God. May we always turn to Him first knowing his love for us.
Blessings 💐

God’s not into waterboarding,
“You’d best receive My grace, OR ELSE!”
Nor is He a miser hoarding
blessings on a dusty shelf.
It’s more that He has got a shop
somewhere way down in the souk,
and one day He chose to stop
collecting cash, but there’s a hook;
you’ve got to go and find the place
(not that hard, by the bye),
and then you really have to face
that going in, you say goodbye
to the life that went before,
’cause Heaven lies beyond the door.
