Rest


Rest doesn’t require a lot, but it needs a time,
 a place , a reason and a permission.
People who have lost their place and time for rest
 have first lost their motivation for it.
A guilty man has no real rest. 
He can sleep two nights in a row, but
still wake up exhausted.
His rest doesn’t depend on time and place.
Resting from our own works, both good and bad,
is the greatest gift that we receive in salvation.
You can rest with that gift, even when
“A thousand will fall at your side,
and then thousand at your right hand.”

Psalm 91:7
