I was reflecting on what I am learning these days and Norah Jones' song, Come Away With Me, came to mind. They are:
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they cant tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So wont you try to come
Come away with me and well kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And Ill never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While Im safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
The only difference is that it is Jesus that is asking for me to come away with him. He is saying, come away with me; I have rest to offer you.
And while I am the first to admit that I can be slow, especially when it comes to hearing what Jesus asks me (okay, dreadfully slow at times), I am trying to go away with him and receive his rest.
Feel free to ask me about that when you talk to me next.
