The day was not made for you to devour. Just as love is not measured in time, but in acts, you are not measured on productivity by My standards. As you grow tired and as your mind needs a rest, take notice of My gifts that I bestow on you freely. I live in you, and so all that I am is yours for the asking. Your desire to impress others does not leave you fulfilled, but you keep trying and trying and it seems never enough. Rest in Me when you grow weary. Let me fill you with My love, and you will never be overwhelmed with work. Know My ways are higher than yours and you will not be left scrambling to get the job done, because as you know Me, you will find that I Am the Author, the Perfecter, and the Key. My Kingdom has no end, but the Earth will not live forever. Your works are not in vain, but they are not absolute, and you can always take a break in My word. My word is My promise and I will never let you down. So don't rush My child. I didn't create you to work yourself sick. Take a seat. Know your place is not to rush around, but to know Me, and only then you will find yourself and the work that you do in Me will always be sustained.
I attribute this work to God. There is a devotional that I love called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. In the book, she describes how she wrote the book. She would sit quietly somewhere, clear her mind, and wait on God. I figured that if God would use Sarah in this way, He could use me. So I tried. I began sitting and waiting on God to use me to share messages. I wait for God to tell me what to write and I begin typing. And the blog posts you see here are what He has told me to tell you.

Rest in Me
The day was not made for you to devour. Just as love is not measured in time, but in acts, you are not measured on productivity by My standards.
