This week has been both a trying week and an encouraging week. I think I broke through, though not to other side yet, but I got a revvy that has hit my core and I know if I ever get it, I will be free. I learned that there is a rest that God has designed for us as believers. That rest is in His love. We are to cease from dead works. Hebrews 4:9-10 Dead works is the things we do to try to "earn" God's love, we cannot earn it we already have it. So those works are dead or lifeless. Someone said once that God's work is not tiring. But it is if you are doing it to earn His love. If you are doing it out of His love for us, then we have the strength and grace to do what He is calling us to do. And in that there is no striving, no wearyness, no pain. There is rest, there is love, there is peace. I find my identity in You Father.
Another scripture that goes along with this is that His yoke is easy, His burden is light.

Father, I commit myself to You in this. I invite You in to show me where in my life I believed a lie that I had to earn love and acceptance. And then help me forgive and be forgiven and get on the other side of the lie. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen
