Choose Rest

Weary, restless, broken,

all I do is never enough.

Try, try, try

until my hands are tired.

Each day's hope is stolen

as I seek to become better on my own.

My efforts fail.

I'm left feeling incomplete.

Yet my mindset never changes;

it's all about me.

Joyful, restful, complete.

My Father is my champion.

Seek, learn, rejoice!

I'm an eagle who has found its wings.

Each day is filled with hope and promise

as my Father leads the way.

His favor covers me.

I am made whole in Him.

All are welcome to join me

as I rest in Daddy's love.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Matthew 11:28-30
