Hello Austin Ridge!
On Sunday we'll be studying what it means to be created in the image of God and what it means to rest. Do you feel valuable? Do you ever truly rest? Is rest hard for you? I want you to see how significant God’s work on the earth is and how Jesus Christ is working through you and through us to accomplish the original purposes for which he made the earth.
I want you to know that God is a good God and that God is alive and well. I want you to know that your life has dignity, meaning, value, and purpose. I want you to know that you are here on divine mission by a good God and that even though you may not consider yourself significant or important, God certainly does – so important and significant that he gave you his image. And I want you to learn how to rest in Him. God has made us to work and rest, and when we do both, he is glorified. Is there a work/rest balance in your life?
Lord, teach us today your ways, and pull out the weeds of our ways that block the irrigation of your Spirit to our parched hearts.
