Refresh

Matthew 11:27 - Come to me all who labor and are burdened and i will refresh you.

I like the idea of refreshment here rather than rest. Because we refresh ourselves in different ways. Today is the first day of Advent and refreshment is essential to our celebrating this season. The day of hope - the hope that refreshes and restores us. The hope that makes us new is here, Jesus is coming and our hope is in Jesus refreshments. The living water is the water that refreshes and never runs dry.
