Keep His Company

"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."

- Matthew 11:28-30, The Message Bible

I've read these verses many times,
but never in The Message.

I love it.

I get tired,
worn-out,
and burnt out
way too often.

I want real rest.
I want to recover my life.
I want to learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I want to live freely and lightly.

And I have.
I know this.
I've experienced it.

But still...
I easily slip back.

That tells me that I'm not keeping company with Him.

Are you?
