A "scene" came to mind as I read this today. It took me to a time when a dear lady would summon me, a child, to come to her when she sensed my need. She simply beckoned me with her hand ..... come here....come closer......I know, little one. As I read this today, I know that my Abba Father invites me to that kind of safety and assurance and, yes, rest. There is rest from whatever has you hurting, wandering, worrying. Thank you for writing today.

Thank you for sharing and for this reminder. Deep in the throes of chronic illness and man, most days just feel like all I can do is survive. Your words feel like a cup of cold water in this dry and weary land (literally! I’m in the desert of India where it’s 104 today 😆 🥵).

Your words are so encouraging! They make me realise that I'm not alone in the trials I go through. God is there! I know I'm not the only person who feels the way I do, and that I'm not as crazy as I thought I was! Perhaps I'm quite normal after all!

Good morning Sarah! This was for me today. Thank you. I am learning to celebrate more because God is worth celebrating. He sees me in Christ, so working on that self-condemnation and striving today. Praying He gets the maximum glory in my life today! ❤️🙏

This spoke right into the heart of me... I have been having a rough go of it lately, and really needed the reminder that God knows, and He is there, holding me until I reach the other side of the storm. Thank you so much for sharing these words.
