“I love that language: building for God‘s kingdom. We can’t build the kingdom, only Jesus can do that. But we can build for the kingdom. We can make bricks, and God, the master builder, can find a way to unfold them into his masterpiece.”

I found this to be such a helpful read that I’ll be keeping on my shelves to come back to over the years. I need this reminder of how work and rest is woven into who I’m created to be. Comer gives some very helpful questions to work through if you’re feeling dissatisfied in your work. I have been on a personal journey concerning Sabbath so the chapters on rest were also so helpful for me. Definitely would recommend people read and slowly work their way through this one. I could also see this being a great gift for a high school or college graduate!
