Who taught you how to think about being restful? Did you copy dad or mom‘s thinking? Or, did you find their thinking stressful and not restful?

Did you learn from your peers? Was your thinking shaped by a book? Or, did you teach yourself the best way to rest?

The reason I’m asking is because some of what we learned and think helps us succeed. And some of our thinking hinders us.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you REST. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find REST for your souls.

Jesus
