Come to me
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 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. Come to me, Get away with me, walk with me and work with me.
Matthew 11:28- 29 (The Message)
Come
Remain in this moment,
A doorway of possibility
And newness.
Inhale the delicate fragrance
Of hope carried on the breath
Of invitation.
Recognise the immobilising inertia
Of cynicism
And turn toward the call.
Know the thieving presence of fear
For what it is,
And walk on.
Feel the irresistible urge to follow
An untrodden pathway
Beyond predictability.
Hear the compelling word of welcome,
Generously whispered:
Come.
