The kind of rest

The Lamb of God blessed,Matthew 12:1-8John 1:29

Is a feed your fellowman

Before you rest,

Rest.

Just like she

Who fed Elijah.1 Kings 17:8-16

And God's rest,

The kind of rest

The Son of God

Blessed,1 John 4:15-16, 20-21

Is a love your neighbor

As yourself,

Labor of love,Leviticus 19:18Matthew 22:35-40

That constrains us,

To feed the needs

Of others first,

Before we stop to rest.Matthew 14:13-21

Only then,

Can we ever truly

Enter into His rest.Hebrews 4:9-10

And yet if so,

Then why is wearing

His yoke,

Of serving others

Said to be so easy?Matthew 11:28-29

And why,

Are bearing all the burdens

That He spoke of,

Deemed to be so restful

And so light?Matthew 5:38-48

It's because we don't

Provide the food,

That feeds the multitude.Luke 9:12-17

And it's because we don't

Supply the seed of faith,

That makes us think

It's even possible.

God does!Luke 11:9-13Ephesians 3:14-21

All we have to do,

Is freely give away

The tiny seeds of hope,

That God so freely gives us.

And always seek to sow

The little seeds of happiness,

That God Himself dispenses.Ecclesiastes 11:6Hosea 10:12

Even when it seems like,

Our faith is in decline,

And hope,

And happiness,

Are very hard to find.
