The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him Proverbs 18:17 ESV I sometimes state my case before God. Tell Him I'd do things differently, it would be better if He did things my way. In my time My kingdom come My will be done Our God is all about the heart...ultimately it's about what or who we worship. Who has authority. And quietly, gently, he examines my heart, searches my heart through the Word, the Spirit, the lives and input of others...through living with image bearers, worshipping together, my heart motivations are nudged, tempered, and sometimes cauterised... I state my case and it seems right. Until He comes and examines me, searches me ... #thisisourGod #worthyofourworship #gentle #restoring #kind

Come to me, all you are weary and burdened...take my yoke upon you and learn from me... for my yoke is easy and my burden is light Matthew 11:28-30 NIV A yoke is a wooden crosspiece fastened over the necks of 2 animals and attached to the plough or cart that they are to pull. Jesus shares our burden, but doesn't add to but lightens our load. A picture to mull over of burdens shared and walking together... A yoke is also the part of a garment that fits over the shoulders to which the rest of the garment is attached - without it the garment falls apart... Jesus yoked together with us... Jesus holds us together... Jesus with his arms  around our shoulders... Mull these verses over wherever you are today... #wordsofJesus #journey #gentle #humble

"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." Matthew 11:28-29 NIV There is no promise that our burdens will magically disappear...no health wealth and happiness...but... the opportunity to get to the heart of what's going on in the very core of who we are, & Jesus says I'll walk with you in that, if you let me journey with you we'll manage that burden between us, & as we journey together, if you ask, & listen, 'cos I'm not going to push anything on you...you'll find the real rest you're looking for...the inner rest, rest for your soul #wordsofJesus #restforyoursoul #journey #inthistogether #gentle #humble
