So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. Hebrews 4:9

Im sure you'd agree that we all get tired of life in some point in our lives. I dont know about you but its tough for me to really realize how much life weighs on me while I'm hanging out with friends, learning in class, working, or just plain enjoying myself. It's not until I stop and sigh; Until I take breather and start to see how poor in spirit I am. I realize how much I need God and just how tired I am.

"God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for him, for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. Matthew 5:3

How nice is that? God blesses (makes happy) people who realize - as my good friend Carl Carnes would put it - "I am a mess and I need God".

It would be great If I could realize that while I'm, again, hanging out with friends, learning in class, working, or enjoying myself. It would be great If I could realize this while I'm on the bus, while I'm walking to class, and while I'm laughing at meaningless words. I wish I could realize this in the midst of confusion, while I spend time on facebook, and through every fiber of my being. Is it possible? I wrestled with this question in my head for some time.
