If your work is your self, when you cease to work, you cease to exist.
Alex Soojung-Kim Pang

I just finished Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang. The author warns us that we don’t get time for rest, we must make time for rest. When we neglect rest, we can become caught up in the demands of everyday life and we can lose our true sense of identity. How many people find their identity in what they do, who they know, or what they own? The Apostle Paul teaches us that our true identity is in Christ:

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. (Galatians 2:20)
