This is Why
This life can make me terribly restless. I have a tendency to over-think things that I should let go of. I can worry over people's opinions about me. I can be anxious about all the things I can't control.
But there is a remedy. A place. A secret place. A place I can take a deep breath in and not worry about anything. A place that doesn't judge me. A place that gives and not takes. And this is why I just keep coming back to Jesus. Because at the end of the day, He is that place. He is My refuge. His peace is real. Literally tangible. I can walk in with an armful of troubles and walk out burden-free -- not because everything in my life is finally where it should be, but because I recognize I don't have to carry the weight of it. He lifts the weight, fills me with peace, puts a smile on my face and helps me enjoy my day instead of living a miserable existence.
This is why I just keep coming back to Jesus. This is why. Not because I want to be some super-spiritual person. It's because I need Him. And life is so much better with Him than without Him, hands down.
