A Different Perspective with Berni Dymet

Sometimes in life we get so tired, so exhausted just from doing all the stuff we have to do, that we forget to rest. In fact, for many, rest, feels like ? like a million miles away. If that’s something you relate to, then today, I have some good news for you. Really, really good news.Support the show: https://christianityworks.com/channels/adp/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the reasons that so many of us are so tired, is that we’re not living our lives the way God intended. Look at Adam and Eve. Everything was just fine, until they turned their backs on God. The moment they did that, life became, well ? seriously hard work!Support the show: https://christianityworks.com/channels/adp/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So many people in this world are so ? tired. Exhausted. And it doesn’t matter how clever you are, how emotionally resilient you and how strong you might be ? when you’re tired, you’re just not functioning at your best. When you’re tired, you’re simply not enjoying life.Support the show: https://christianityworks.com/channels/adp/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re chatting this week on the program about entering God’s rest ? because His rest is available to each one of us right here, right now.
