So much memories when I read this passage.
It's the same passage we did half a year ago. The topic was rest.
"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me."
Thinking back to my state of mind back then, I must admit that I'm definitely living more freely and lightly. Definitely more freely. Not too sure about lightly, because I'm still writing about 4 pages per day in my thoughts journal, which means I think a lot... right? But I remember I almost cried when I felt Jesus was asking me those questions, because I was definitely burned out. Now, not so much.
"Learn the unforced rhythms of grace."
Grace is like a rhythm. I like that analogy. Some people can grasp beats really easily, especially muso's and dancers. I believe we all walk in different speeds in every different shop according to the beat of the song they're playing. But for other people, it takes many different tries for them to get the hang of the beat, and it's almost unnatural just to bob to the beat. That's exactly what Jesus talked about in His sermons, some people hear it and prosper. Some people hear it and that's it. We have to learn this rhythm. It's a concious choice to walk with Him and live freely and lightly.
Matthew 11:28-30 - Walk with me
