Big relief

It fees like a huge weight has been taken from my shoulders knowing that tomorrow is my day off. A day where i wouldnt have a burden to wake up so early in the morning and able to sleep anytime i want tonight without having to worry that i'll be tired at work tomorrow because I dont have enough sleep.
Always feel exhausted on sunday night and feeling excited on friday night.
Thinking about future scares me. It will come to a time where i have to work full time continuously (for the rest of my life maybe) and not having add up to around 6 months of holiday in a year. Working hard definitely needs a lot of effort and will not be easy. At times it becomes a burden and becomes so hard to do it and we get tired and stop working hard. 

It is such a huge relief too to know that I dont have to work hard to earn God's favour because Jesus did the hard work for me. I dont have to work hard for the rest of my life just to purchase my ticket to heaven. I fail everytime i attempted to have a good habit so then it can balance out my bad habit because of my nature that is so reluctant and lazy.
I once read a blog post about feeling exhausted and the writer was saying that one of the reason of us feeling exhausted is because we rely on ourselves and we always fail.

I reckon this is a good news for everyone who doesnt wanna feel weary and burden by all the things that we have to do which are overwhelming. I feel tried already now having to think about working hard all my life to earn happiness because i know that my attempt would never meet God's standard. Many might think that after we submit our lifes to Jesus, we still have to work hard to do good things because we have to live a life that is pleasing to God which is putting off our sin aside. Are we signing up to a bunch of rules if we submit our life to Jesus??
I am reading a book called transforming grace by jerry Bridges at the moment and he discuss the issue of grace and good works which I would share later after i finish reading the book :D:D

Yup, there is no such free gift in this world, but through Jesus I received my salvation in full for free :D:D
