I came across the picture below and I was reminded how much this world can beat on us. There are so many events that happen in our lives and people who can tear us down and cause us to question who we are and why we were created. But what speaks to me clearly through the picture below is two things: 1) Only God can provide us true rest. No amount of sleep or distraction from our everyday pain can give us the rest we need. And, 2) Only God can define who we truly are. Listen to God and be reminded that He loves you just as you are. No one can take away the beauty and perfection of who He sees in His eyes when He looks down at you through His perfect mercy and grace. May each of you have a blessed day.

Enjoy your day of reflecting on Him. We will get back to our reading list tomorrow.
