\u201cWe don\u2019t need to hustle to prove something God already says is true.\u201d
I can\u2019t stop thinking about this quote, ever since I read it in Rebekah Lyon\u2019s book,\xa0Rhythms of Renewal.
\xa0If we\u2019re gut honest, how often are we working so hard in an effort to try to impress someone else, earn someone\u2019s approval, or prove something to ourselves or others?
Jesus came so we can stop striving and instead rest in the beautiful truth that we are enough in Him. We don\u2019t have to do more, be more, try harder, do better, and hustle like crazy to win His favor. In Christ, we are pre-approved. There\u2019s rest and freedom at the foot of the Cross!
I was so honored to get to sit down and record a podcast episode with Rebekah Lyons recently on what it looks like to live from a place of renewal and rest instead of from a place of stress. We talked about the 4 rhythms everyone needs to have in their life, how easy it can be to incorporate them, and how much of a difference they can make.
She also shared about their recent adoption and how this \u201choly interruption\u201d has beautiful impacted their life in ways she couldn\u2019t dream or imagine.
