Rest for the weary.

Hi there,
I've some how lost my previous post, which I can seem to find.
How's your day going?
How are you going with your things?
Have you thought about God, and what does God think of you today?
How do you see God?
I know this seems repetitive, and some how you need, to know that God is pleased with you.
He first of all exchanged his stripes and beatings to set you free.
Today I want to talk to you about rest.
Because sometimes it's hard to actually see rest as in laying things down, because we see, we have to fight and have to do things that, we get tired, and we have to have all our eggs all in one basket.
Or be like a performing clown, and perform in front of people.
Sometimes we find it harder to keep all these things up.
We can live like this all our lives, like this a performance, and we live to get clapped in front of our friends.
Sometimes it's like that, and we feel threat ed by what's coming, because we don't want to show others what we're really like.
We have a mentality, '' you've got to fake it to you make it.'' it happens alot in cheffing.
And sometimes it's easy to believe it, but I don't believe it and I'll tell you why.
Because it's not true, and a lot of people who know you, yes who knows you on a leave not a flaky level, know that you can't fully function, and the wheels will come off sooner rather than later.
Alot of people I know might think I've been sheltered somewhere like a garden shed, not knowing anyone, and might come across as un caring. But I look around and I see alot of people out there, living for less, and the thing I want to do is, to encourage that person out there that wonder what on earth is going on.
Perhaps you've had broken promises to you, said over and over again, perhaps you've been abused, in what might be like a perfect family, perhaps you've been bullied at work, school or for your faith.
Perhaps you've been told to have good short term plans, but you're a long term person.
I can't be you, I can't be God and make things better.
I can't fix things.
Perhaps it's all a bit to much, at the moment, perhaps your one day off, and 11 days on, is tiring, all you can think of, sleep and catching up on things that have been neglected.
have you been Neglected, have you been living out your life, for others not really seeing the cracks in your own life?
My dear friend, we  all are all the same, you can go to all the trouble in the world, as you like, but when you see that God is watching over you, that no matter what happens in your life, no matter the great lessons or advice in the world that you can take.
Nothing beats the promise that God is watching over you, it's when we stop and we know that God is keeping it all together when we're tired, that we can't actually remember the last time we just plain enjoyed ourselves just for enjoying.
Our lives might be filled with drama,  and perhaps we like the thought that we like it, but God is there in the drama, in those family things that cause us, pain and grief.
We can't always be the perfect family, we can't be there, and sometimes when we need prayer, we might just need to be strong and grow up a little.
It through this that we perfect our faith, instead of getting all worked up about something, and getting prayer.
It's in that time of pain, we see Grace.
The widow gave her last 2 coins to God before the feet of Jesus, and he said that nothing goes un noticed.
So my friend if you're feeling a bit weary, a bit un noticed, Jesus sees it, and he loves you the way you are, if you're exposed, if all your secrets are out, if people are advising you on how to live, and liking their own voice, and you just want them to be quiet, extend the hand of Grace, extend the hand of grace, and do it with out complaining, no matter if they complain against you.
God didn't come to save the Christians, he did come for the well, he came to the sick.
He came to make a way for us, to say the best is yet to come.
