Rest awhile and be consoled

Rest Awhile and Be Consoled
Pray over words of Christ and Scripture.

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
