Day 24: 'Twas the Night Before
'Twas the night before~
the day
that would change the world
that would change
the hearts
of all
who came
to experience the new born Son.
But
He was not just an ordinary Son~
He was
The One & Only One.
'Twas the night before~
the big break through
when
Love
broke through
the darkness
the hopelessness
the sorrow & grief
in
God's perfect timing.
'Twas the night before~
when the labor pains began
and then
The Baby Jesus
was born
so that we can come to
Him
in our labor.
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
And
He will
give us the greatest gift in the midst of our labor~
His gift of Rest.
This promise of Jesus, wrapped up in the Gift of Christmas~
The Baby~
His gift of Rest…
“Jesus described His gift to His followers as rest for your soul.
This unmatchable gift ~both powerful and profound ~should be considered the birthright of those
who come to Jesus and are His followers.” (Guzik)
His gift of Rest ...
For all
who labor
and
He means
All of us~
as we all grow weary and tired.
Do you need rest?
Where are you laboring?
What do you hope this labor will produce?
Will you allow Jesus to labor for you?
Come to Jesus
to be swaddled in
His Gift of Rest
and experience
the
biggest breakthrough of
Love
that
will turn your
labor days
into a
Birth Day!
