Rest For Your Soul
by Deb Nelson (Deb's bio)
Until we feel weighed down and smothered.
We accept the judgments and make them our own,
We try so hard, carrying our burdens alone.
We strive and struggle to bear our pain,
And end up feeling hopeless and insane.
We're "bottomed out" and totally broken,
Before we accept the words He's spoken.
"Come to me - all who are heavily ladened,
My yoke is easy, my burden is light
You will find rest for your soul
And I will bring you eternal life."
"So cast your cares upon me,
I want you to be truly free.
Receive the love and grace I've given,
And know that you have been forgiven."
"Now go out and spread the word,
Share with others what you have heard.
Let my light shine through you,
So they can come to know me too."
November 8, 1996

| About Deb Nelson: Deb Nelson is a single 41 year old that lives in Minneapolis, MN. She has been writing poetry since the age of 14. Since getting saved 6 years ago, she has learned to be still and know that He is God. In that stillness, the Holy Spirit inspires poetry for her to write, she feels as though this is her ministry. Often times, these poems are like her journal, other times they are showing her gift of encouragement. Please let these words speak to you and bless you. E-mail Deb |
