Rest

“Come unto me … and I will give you rest”
— Matt. 11:28

“It is Jesus who gives abiding rest to our souls, and not what our thoughts about ourselves may be. Faith never thinks about that which is in ourselves as its ground of rest; it receives, loves and apprehends what God has revealed, and what are God's thoughts about Jesus, in whom is His rest.”

“And here we walk, as sons through grace, A Father's love our present joy: Sons, in the brightness of Thy face, Find rest no sorrows can destroy.”
