When last did you meet someone who, when you asked how they were didn't reply 'busy'. Or 'tired'. Or whose eyes didn't say these things while their mouth was saying that they were fine :) That seems to be the world we live in, and often when we are in that state, we desperately reach for a quick-fix - some sort of escape - digital or chemical or something equally fleeting, but they don't really help.
How refreshing then, are the words of Jesus who invites us to lay aside our alternatives and come to him for life:
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matt 11:28-30 (MSG)
