    Jesus calls Christians to work for Him, but then after the work is done we are to rest in Him. It is when we work FOR the Lord that we then EARN rest ... not before.

    In the chaos of life, Jesus doesn’t shout, He simply shows up. Allow Me To Meet You is a call to pause, refocus, and choose what matters most: sitting at His feet. When Jesus enters our busy lives, He’s not asking for more effort, He’s asking for our heart.

    (38) Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. (39) And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. (40) But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, ...read more
