ENERGY ROBBERS



Dear One,

I said that I would give you rest from your labors. Rest is a time of rejuvenation, of restoration. There is no striving when there is rest.
There is often conflict when you are striving because striving requires all of the energy that you can muster. When you have garnered all of your energy in order to strive, then there is often the occasion for a spirit of strife to enter into the situation because you have exhausted your supply of energy.
When you are at rest emotionally, then you are not striving. Therefore your life is void of strife. When there is no strife in your life there is no need for excess emotional energy which is necessary when you are striving. Strife and striving require energy.
Rest allows your body and mind to rest.
Rest from your emotional laboring and enjoy the restful life that I promised, free from striving and free from strife.

Love, God
Psalm 35:1-4; Psalm 10:12; Proverbs 17:14; Proverbs 20:3; Matthew 11:28-20;Acts 2:26; Hebrews 3:18-19; Hebrews 4:1-3.
