It takes submission and surrender to settle down into God’s rest. Instead, many of us go through life feeling restless. When we don’t allow our hearts to be still, our emotions stay stirred up. We struggle with an unresolved issue. Forgiveness. Bitterness. Hurt. Insecurity.
Restlessness is a symptom of being homesick for God’s love. Because that’s when true rest comes—when we can hunker down in His love and know it’s enough—we don’t have to perform or strive for perfection. Just be.
