My soul has been stirring with the need to be held closely by Jesus. When troubles invade my mind and fears chase my joy away, I must turn to Jesus even more! Resting quietly is my way to live my active life. Rest is needed from our fears. Rest is needed from our troubles. Jesus is the rest we need. His gentle embrace comforts us. Then, we can hear His words, “do not be afraid – for I am with you always!”
