Under Pressure

Slavery maybe something of an abstract concept to those in the western world privileged to be told that they live in a free society. However when the challenges of daily living are considered – bills to pay, onerous responsibilities to meet, friends to retain, personal image to sustain, rat-race to maintain – then it’s no wonder even those in the ‘free society’ appear just as enslaved as those from previous eras or other countries. Everyone is under pressure to some extent and that pressure can cripple, depress and rob the joy to be discovered when we break free.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)

Take A Load Off

One of the ways that helps in enjoying life and making the most of it is in taking a load off. Whether that’s through sport, a trip to the hairdressers or even shopping it’s good to have an outlet to release the tension that often builds through the day. When these only provide escapism without release thus neglecting the issues of life, there is an invitation to engage in a relationship that allows us to find restoration and relief. With fresh hope and optimism this can set you up for a good perspective on even the most challenging situations.

If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest. (Matt 11:28)

Safe Journey
