Vitameatavegamin Girl

The answer to all your problems is in this little bottle, Vitameatavegamin. Vitameatavegamin contains vitamins, meat, vegetables, and minerals. Yes, with Vitameatavegain, you can spoon your way to health. All you have to do is take a tablespoonful after every meal. It's so tasty, too!  It's just like candy! So, why don't you join the thousands of happy, peppy people, and get a great big bottle of Vitameatavegamin tomorrow? That's Vita-meata-vega-min!"

This has to be one of the best episodes from the I Love Lucy Show. All Lucy wants to do is be on TV, and like always it ends up in a mess and she learns her lesson...well until the next time! But that's why we love her.

My question is do you ever feel like that? Rundown and listless? In everyday life and maybe your own religion? Well let me tell you there is this bottle ...no just kidding! Believe it or not, there is someone who has a similar speech:

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” -Matthew 11:28-30 MSG

In this passage Jesus gives us the key to live a free and light life. I know I have sad it before but the key is to come to Him. We can't live life alone, because when we do, we become tired and worn out. Jesus said that He wants to show us real rest! Have you ever experienced real rest? By the looks of it, He has called us to live a life of rest in Him. 

It is achieved by watching Him work. So that means being close to Him.  In my last post I said that we need to be by the Fathers heart.  It's also important to walk right beside Jesus to see how to live life. 

So are you tired, rundown, listless and just plain burned out? Then it's time to go for a walk with Jesus. Take His hand and see how he does it. He will show you how unforced His grace truly is. 

Why don't you join all of the "happy, peppy people" and start today? I promise you will be a lot better off than the Vitameatavegamin Girl!
