Come, sit down awhile in the green grass.
If you are here, something in you is still willing — even if you are very, very tired.
Perhaps you have walked through a long winter.
A season of pouring out.
Holding space.
Catching babies.
Answering calls in the night.
Carrying stories in your body that no one sees.
In Mark 6:39 (NKJV), before the miracle, before the multiplication, before the sending, Jesus gave a simple instruction:
“Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.”
Not just grass.
Green grass.
Green means the rains have come.
Green means winter has loosened its grip.
Green means there is enough life in the ground for people to rest upon it.
He did not begin with more work.
He began with rest.
This course is that moment.
We are not pretending winter did not happen.
We are not dismissing what you have carried.
Winter gathered wisdom in you.
Winter shaped you.
But now — spring is arriving.
And you are invited to sit down in it.
Psalm 23 says, “He makes me to lie down in green pastures.” Sometimes we imagine that as force. But often it is mercy. When we are too weary to choose rest for ourselves, He gently leads us there.
You do not need to prove your calling here.
You do not need to produce fruit.
You do not need to know your next step.
You only need to sit.
Together, we will listen.
Together, we will breathe.
Together, we will ask Him what this new season holds.
Not apart from your winter —
but carrying it, transformed, into spring.
He is not sending you alone.
He is beside you.And He is very near.
Come.
Sit down in the green grass.
- I hope you join me in this course. 💗
