When We Feel Guilty For Resting

Send us Fan MailWhen We Feel Guilty for RestingSometimes we feel guilty for resting when there’s so much left to do.And we push ourselves beyond our healthy limits.Maybe it’s because we know that what we’re doing is important. But in the process, we can lose sight of what else is important too.“So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.” — Genesis 2:3The work mattered. And so did the rest.Our rest is not only important; it is holy.It is a time to renew, refresh, and rekindle the fires within us. A time to remember that we are more than what we produce. More than what we accomplish. More than the items waiting on tomorrow’s list.Rest reminds us that our lives are a gift. And gifts are meant to be received, not merely used.Today, may we give ourselves permission to pause. To breathe. To receive the gift of rest.I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
