“Come Thou long
expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free. From our fears and sins release
us, let us find our rest in thee. Israel’s strength and consolation, hope of
all the Earth Thou art. Dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing
heart.” – Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
Jesus is the joy of every longing heart. Our hearts long for
freedom - freedom from fear, from sin, from struggling and from striving. Our
hearts need rest and they find their rest in freedom that comes from Jesus.
Whether we know it or not we all long for freedom and for those of us who know
Jesus, he is our joy. Our longing hearts find their rest in Jesus. This leads
us to gratefulness and praise.
There is always another place we can find rest. There will always be opportunity for us to be released from fear and sin and find rest.
May we continually find our rest and freedom in Jesus and may we experience the joy that it is to know him.

**Please take as much time as is possible to sit and reflect.**
