The heart of grace book written by Author Timothy Virge - digital pdf

The Heart of Grace is Rest. The most neglected thing in the Christian life has to be rest. We are busy, we are burdened, we are exhausted, we are worn out and we just need to get back to being established by Grace which is to rest. Grace says: stay seated at the feet of Jesus as Mary once did and you will miss nothing.

Just sit at the feet of Jesus and rest, stop trying, stop producing and just be with Jesus as you are already. No fixing yourself, no proving yourself, no purpose driven living to be more and do more, no instead just simply stay resting in Jesus, relaxing in the vine.

Jesus said His yoke was easy and his burden is light, yet the average Christian experience is the total opposite of that, its chaos, stress, in a hurry, being rushed, work work work, with no rest in sight whatsoever. The Gospel is meant to bring us rest, Jesus gives us His Grace and He is our first love, He is our vine that we always abide in, yet many have left their place of resting in the vine by replacing rest with "working for the Lord."

Sounds good at first but this busyness is often a distraction from enjoying our first love and enjoying our vine to branch relationship with Jesus, all in the name of service or works for God. But are we honoring God? or in truth are we disregarding His Grace for works? Yes its time to once again fully embrace the heart of grace and begin to rest in Jesus and His Finished work!
