Let Me be rest

While I was on my personal retreat last weekend, I wrote this jot. It was early Friday afternoon when I wrote this, feeling tired, weak, and like I had noting left to give. Its not that I was doing things on my own without God as much as I was trying to take on more than I could handle based on circumstances and my day was full of movement and noise. 

All, come--I call
You are tired and weary I see
So I call
Come
Let Me be rest
My love be your bed
Come, you are weak
In the night I am light
In the life I am still here
Keep coming
Run even
You are empty
I want to fill you
Overflow to pour
Our hearts to connect,
Hands to touch,
My affection be on you
You remain still
Let Me move now
Rest child
Stop
Rest and be still
Do you know who I am? 
Does your heart? 
I call for you to come and be still
And you say balance 
I say priority
Its no contradiction sweet child
Its love
Its rest
Its Me calling
Come to Abba.

The retreat was incredible. That was the cry and reaction of my heart. I did find rest. I'm still finding rest.
