This is written by Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez and I wanted to share....

 

Come to me and rest, by beloved one.  I know your responsibilities are many, and I know the burdens you carry are great.

Call me your shepherd, and I will carry you. 

Call me your friend, and I will listen to your heart's cry. 

Call me your Redeemer, and I will bring restoration to your soil.  Busying yourself with many things will bring distraction and discouragement.  The expectations of others will drown out my song of grace over your life. 

Call me your strength, and my invisible power will be seen in your life.

I do not create you to be limited by feelings of weaknesses.  I know the burdens you carry, burdens of past failures and the fear of inadequancy as you ponder your future.  I am here with you this very moment to be more than a companion - I will be the Lord of love and the God of every tender mercy. 

I long to show you that my grace is more than enough. 

Rise from the place of despair and betrayal and come to me. 

Call me your burden bearer and leave all of your burdens at my feet. 

You will rise up with strength and be surrounded with peace.
