Discovering God’s Love in Our Hobbies and Rest

Overall Message:

The video is an invitation to viewers to perceive their hobbies and passions not just as pastimes, but as divine gifts that offer refreshment and joy. It encourages a deeper appreciation of these activities as expressions of God's love and care.

Our hobbies, things we do, things we love to play, those things, they bring us refreshment. They enable us to move away from our worries and fears and to shed those in the moment. That's what rest is.

When you're lost in an act of making something or, or painting something or drawing or writing or running or, you know, whatever it is that restores you. I think that is God just saying, I love you. Yeah, it's just God saying, I love you. This is who I am, and I'm a giver of good gifts.

And I think the more I believe that, the more I enjoy God.

Since 1951, Cru has helped individuals who grapple with integrating faith into daily life by offering practical steps and community support. As a result, countless people in over 190 countries have been empowered to move from passive belief to active faith.
