REST AND RESTORATION


Dear One,
When you have been in a battle it takes a while for your battle broken body to heal and work its way back to perfection.
When your body has been ravaged by illness or injury, it has expended great amounts of stored up energy to fight the illness or the effect of the injury. After the battle, it has to recuperate from the energy depleting experience, and then it must overtax itself in order to restore its energy supply. That is why you feel lifeless and spent for such a long time. The greater the battle, the longer the restoration period. Compare the process in your mind to a battery which has worked itself until it is almost dead. Then you hook it back up to a recharger and it takes a while to recharge the battery. Give your body's battery an opportunity to recharge before you put a demand on it. Otherwise, it will leak energy more often and need recharging more often than it previously did.
After a battle a soldier always has a period of R and R, rest and recreation or rest and restoration, in order to restore himself mentally, physically and emotionally. Give your body and mind a long period of R and R after an illness or an injury and then the restoration will be perfect. Time heals all things.
Love, God
