to Me, and I will give you rest.
i need rest.
the quarter system needs to take a few chill pills.
it's already 5. shoot.
"yet you did not call upon me, O Jacob;
but you have been weary of me, O Israel!
you have not brought me your sheep for burnt offerings,
or honored me with your sacrifices.
i have not burdened you with offerings,
or wearied you with frankincense.
you have not bought me sweet cane with money,
or satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices.
but you have burdened me with your sins;
you have wearied me with your iniquities.
I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
put me in remembrance; let us argue together;
set forth your case, that you may be proved right.
your first father sinned, and your mediators transgressed against me.
therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary,
and deliver Jacob to utter destruction and Israel to reviling.
but now hear, O Jacob my servant, Israel whom I have chosen!
thus says the LORD who made you, who formed you from the womb and will help you:
Fear not, O Jacob my servant, Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants."
- isaiah 43:22-44:3
i'm so glad You don't get tired and sick and weary of me, God.
we don't love You properly.
instead, we burden You with our sins, and You constantly wash them..because You choose to make us clean, strengthen us, help us to love You, help us to sacrifice, help us to obey.
God, You don't even need our worship. You don't need our recognition.
You are..God. and You are already glorified in that.
You don't need us. we need You.
we. need. You.
