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.
