The Art of Slow
We can get so used to 'busy' and being distracted that we live in a constant state of exhaustion. We can also use busyness as a way to numb ourselves against the things that are our greatest struggles or fears. But what happens when we actually decide to live like Jesus and live a rhythm of slow? We experience the beauty in Matthew 11:28-30, "Matthew 11:28-30 “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
