Rest
Come to me
Come to me and rest
Rest your soul
Rest your weary head
Come to me
Leave the world to fret on its own
Find me
I’m your home
Come to me
Come to me and shine
Reflect my light
whole and unrefined
Show your face
Don’t turn away in shame
Show your soul
Don’t cover up your flame
Let it burn bright
Let it live
Open your heart
For I freely give
There is a wind
There is a rain
Let it blow
and fall at will
I created you
body and soul
You're a vessel
meant to be full
Full of my love
Full of desire
with passion that burns
until you are fully on fire
Desire to know me
more as I show
I can overcome
life's undertow
Tho the current's so strong
and direction seems wrong
when only the surface
you see
The current's extreme
a pull to the deep
leads you
to panic and flee
But with my grace you can float
let go of the boat
trust your instincts
I'll carry you free
Rest in me
Lay your head back onto the sea
Let it go
Drift in the waves with me
Come to me
Come to me and rest
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:28-30 MSG

You mean "Come to God," but you put it in the divine first person: come to me.
You are serving as a mouthpiece for the Lord - which is what the prophets used to do.
I get to speak as God to my 4 dogs - a little bit.
I mean, i may be as much of God that they are going to be conscious of in this life. Dealing with them (their sinning by eating my phones etc) really gives me the opportunity to portray God to them by forgiving them, teaching them etc.
Today I blew up at them.aftervthey tore up the kitchen.
It wasnt all 4, just 2.while I was away.
When i came back, i was as mad as Moses coming down off the mt.
Anyway i am glad I didnt beat them- just once per dog.

I am not speaking as God, I am paraphrasing scripture. Also, I am happy to know that you showed your dogs grace today!
