Live a life with purpose
Ever heard someone say that you need to “stop and smell the roses” or that you need to come apart and rest? Well in Matthew 11:28 Jesus tells us to come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Many times, we find ourselves weary along with many burdens. When you find this happening, ask God to help you. A relationship with Him can mean a more meaningful and productive life with purpose.
