In the quiet, out of the busyness of life we are able to enter into the presence of the Lover of our soul.  In the silence we are able to hear the still voice that leads us to the most satisfying space, where the world and its troubles fade.  Faith is restored and joy and peace revisits as God restores, assures, and calms the troubled seas within.

Time for Place of Rest

It is like a place off the beaten path;
A stopping-place before you go ahead or turn back,
A time of respite …some extra time,
To plan your next step, to new direction find,
It is like a quiet little vacation, to contemplate,
Your course and purpose before it is too late.
Some call it a sabbatical …where you just minister to yourself;
Where, for a short time you shut the world out.
Some allow a friend or a close relative,
To glimpse the little retreat, they choose to briefly live.
But, some choose to spend time only with God above;
Allowing Him to fill with wisdom and His abundant love.
They find a clearer direction and are strengthened too;
So in God’s Spirit they more easily move.
Come spend a short time or stay as long as you desire,
Come a little while to the place of rest; closer to Love’s loving-fire

Matthew 11:28-30
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
