“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
- grace words spoken by Jesus, as recorded in Matthew 11:28-30, MSG

I have never read this beloved passage in this translation before. Thank you!
I love the way that your words reflect your heart. I’ve enjoyed reading your blog for awhile now, but I think this series on grace has been my favorite yet. Thank you for sharing your gift!
I love Jesus. He’s amazing.
I also love Eugene Peterson, and I’m so grateful for his work. Reading The Message is like reading the Bible for the first time–everything is so fresh, so resonant. I thank God for his courage.
I also love Emily Freeman. She’s quite a girl, you know?

I love this version of this verse. The first time I read it I was struck by the phrase “the unforced rhythms of grace,” and it’s stuck with me ever since.
