I am on a journey of discipleship.
I have been on this journey for some time and yet in so many ways it seems I am
just a beginner. I am certainly nothing of consequence, but I am on this
journey.
For a few years I contributed
articles to this website in order to encourage others who are also learning to
be disciples. For very selfish reasons I stopped. I must ask your forgiveness.
I am now retired and can spend
literally hours in prayer and meditation. My thoughts turn toward those who are
still busy with life of work and raising children. I recognize that you do not
have hours for dedicated prayer, reading and meditation. Even so, if you can
begin or end your day with one thought to think on through your day, hopefully
that can be an encouragement to draw closer to Jesus and listen for his words
of encouragement and love.
Therefore, it is my intention to
offer by this medium; simple, short words of encouragement, that you can think
on through the day.
Let us begin with familiar words of
Jesus found in Matthew 11:28-30;
Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke on you and learn of Me, for I am
meek and lowly in heart, and you shall find rest to your souls. For My yoke is
easy, and My burden is light.
Copy these words to a note card or
small piece of paper, then look at them through the day and think what they
mean to you.
These are the words of someone who
loves you more than you can imagine and wants you to have rest. What does that
mean to you?
