Jesus said to His Apostles, "You must come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while"
Mark 6:31

There is need for every child of the Father to rest body and mind so that new life may be received for thought and action. So is sleep given that tired limbs may receive new strength and weary minds the rest needed for dealing with the demands of daily living.

But there is a rest and refreshment needed by every one of the Father's children which goes beyond the resting of tired limbs or the refreshment of tired minds. It is concerned with that part of a person which makes him human and distinguishes him from the natural world.

In each and every soul there is a need to receive daily that which refreshes and nourishes the spirit. And such can come only from direct contact with the source of all life light and energy, namely Our Holy Spirit. The Father bestows this in My Name and through My loving, saving, power to all who seek it in faith and trust. From time to time the opportunity should be taken for an extended time, even to several days, to rest and grow in the spirit. As a holiday is important for mind and body so is such a holy rest and refreshment essential for growth and development of the whole person.
