Matthew 11:28-30The Message, By Eugene Peterson
 

The Christian life is about living to the glory of God. It is not a driven frenetic, sweated, interminable quest for saving souls. It is doing for His glory what God has given us to do.

 

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.
