A thought I've been pondering is, if God gave me one wish what would I choose. I believe I would choose " to be selfless".
But just the thought of that, my flesh wants me to say "no! life would be so exhausting. what about me?". What is a life without thinking about yourself? I can guarantee there's much rest in that life.

1. You'll never find rest until you can let go of selfish desires, pride and bitterness.
2. There is Rest in storms when you choose to look at them through lens of God's power and strength, rather than through lens of fear and your weaknesses.
3. God is never in a hurry

#1 speaks to me the loudest. I was so used to having family and friends around whenever I needed or wanted them. Since I married Mike and moved to NY I feel so isolated. I don't feel that the people that say they are my friends are REAL friends. I spend so much time alone that when I get around my "friends" I feel like they are just acquaintances. I sometimes feel that way with Jesus. My relationship with HIM was so much closer in Alabama. I need to let go of my selfish desires and focus more on Jesus so I can open my heart to let HIM in.
All 3 of these are very true. Recently, God has been showing me #2 "There is Rest in storms when you choose to look at them through lens of God's power and strength, rather than through lens of fear and your weaknesses", in so many ways. I've enjoyed following you Kim. Cheering you on for the Lord always.
