To our Lord, rest was not self-pleasing ease.  To serve was His chosen rest.
What about us?

…our Saviour knew all that ever could be known, and He endured to the end.

Our waters are shallow because His were deep. 

Is it not a wonder of wonders that He can want our love?

…he moment we are carefully regarded, above all when we are tried in any way (crushed as we crush the myrtle leaf), that moment what is there is known.

Our God will do glorious things if only we let Him have His way in us. 

…It means not only truth and kindness but an all-round ‘opulence of unselfishness’, doing as much as one can to help others (not as little as we can get away with). 

We were never allured to the Lord’s side by a promise of the easy.  We never shall be.

Can’t we trust our Father if He says No, or Wait?
