SOUL REST
'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'
'Take
my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for
I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.'
'For
my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.'
Matthew 11:28-30 (King
James
Version)
Without Jesus Christ,one
can never get rest for one's soul! No human philosophy,ideology,or
religion however great can give rest to the human soul! No vice can
deliver rest for one's soul;for there is no peace in being
wicked(Isaiah 48:22)! But one does not need to live and die with such
unrest!
When one comes to Jesus Christ and receive him as one's personal Lord
and Saviour,one now has peace with God(Rom.5:1)!
Based on this new relationship with God,one's soul does not need to
suffer any more unrest!
One's will becomes more and more submitted to the will of the Lord
Jesus Christ,just as he submitted to the will of the Father
(Matt.26:42)!
One's intellect learns of the Lord that which is relevant to one's
divine destiny while unlearning the deception that led to bondage and
poverty in the past!
One's negative emotions lose their reign of
terror and
confusion as one demonstrates more and more of the fruit of the Spirit
(Gal.5:22-23).
One's consciousness in addition to world-consciousness and
self-consciousness now experiences God-consciousness!
Therefore one is now conscious of God being with one
(Matt.28:20) and for one always (Rom.8:31).
As the soul finds rest in the Lord,it is empowered more and more so as
to reach its divine potential for fulfillment of divine destiny!
'Beloved, I wish above all things that thou
mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John 2 (King James
Version)
