Rest Begins With an Invitation — “Come to Me

Devotional week 49

Imagine someone standing at the edge of a river after a long, tiring journey. Their bodies ache, their hands tremble with weariness. Before them flows fresh, clear water, clean and ready to drink. But instead of kneeling to take a deep, refreshing drink, they fumble with shaking hands or try to scoop water into a cracked, broken container. The water is right there, but they are too tired, distracted, or caught up in their routine to actually pause and drink.
