Return your rest, my soul!

-

 "'Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you.'"

Fear & anxiety has a strange way of creeping into our hearts and lives, but we need to remind ourselves about how God has undertaken in the past.
Faithfulness is part of His character and He continues to be faithful.

So return to your rest, find your peace and security in Him once more.

Lord, when I think about how You have helped and been good to me, I can only rejoice and be confident in You. I will rest in You and I will trust in You. Amen.


 ~Psalm 116:7

And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

Even though His body may have been taken from this earth, His spirit remains and every spring we are blessed with a reminder of the events that unfolded on that fateful weekend. The blooms often appear in the shape of a Cross with holes in the tips of the pedals signifying the nails that were driven into the Cross. If you look closely at these holes you can notice a faint red stain representing the Blood. In the center you will find a green bloom symbolizing the crown of thorns placed on the head of Jesus. The dogwood is more than a tree…it is a representation of life. With every spring we are reminded of what God did for us and given the chance to be reborn and start a new life as “children of God”. (John 3:1)
