“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.” (Matthew 11:28-30 The Message Bible)
I made it a point to put my red, seldom used, Extra Care Card in my wallet so I could use it at the drugstore nearest my house. As I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed there was no advertisement posters on the windows and there were no lights on inside. I drive closer to the front door to see if there is a notice about a change in hours or perhaps a notification that remodeling was taking place. There was a notice, but not the one I wanted to read. It said, “This Store Closed” and it had an effective date. That was disappointing. The extra care benefit I was planning on was not available.
I’m so glad that when I need extra care for my spiritual being and my emotional state of mind that I can go to the Lord at any time: morning, noon day or night. And, you know what? He will be open and ready to serve me and you too as customers He truly loves. Go to Him! The best extra care we need it available. You will not be disappointed! Be blessed!
“Leave all your worries with him because he cares for you.”(I Peter 5:7 The Good News Translation)
Still committed to the climb,
