There are times when rest right now feels impossible.
Rest lies just beyond whatever you are going through right now and the only way through is… Through
If you avoid or postpone or look for quick relief, the relief will be temporary. And you will be no closer to the rest you’re looking for.
Something we are told repeatedly as myofascial release therapists is “you have to feel it to heal it.” Bracing against pain and recoiling from discomfort can halt the healing process and create other problems.
There is a time for everything, and if we are still— in tune to our bodies— if we are still and know that God is God, we will know the next step. And we will find the courage to take it.
If you are finding it hard to rest right now, may you have courage and comfort to go through to the rest that is on the other side – surely your rest will be sweet.
