"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."


"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
~ John 16:33

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."

MY GRACIOUS MOMENT WITH MY LOVING GOD

I realized the more I long to do good to my husband, the more I fail.
The more I hurt him without consciously knowing.
Somehow, God wants me not only to repent from my shortcomings but more to draw to HIM closely amidst my countless failures.

With so many things that I may want to do to make my husband happy and loved, I am still reminded of the most beautiful reason I've ever known in my life, in my journey....and that is JESUS, HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD gives beauty to all the good things we desire to pursue in this journey called LIFE.

Have a Beautiful Saturday Everyone!!

Unforced rhythms of grace

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?
Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life.
I'll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

Matthew 11:28-30
The Message Version

Isn't God so sweet?
