When people ask me how I am doing, my reply is often “busy.” We often define ourselves by what we do, rather than by what Christ has done. The result is that we are weary & restless. I find myself coming back from a week’s vacation needing a vacation from my vacation. A day (or week) off is not enough to give your soul the deep rest it longs for. Every idol promises life, but in the end it causes you to sacrifice everything in pursuit of it. The cost is often seen in everyday weariness. What we really need is to rest in a Savior who has sacrificed everything for us already & can give us life to its fullest every day, as well as for eternity. The gospel gives us that rest. ~ Chan Kilgore
