““Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am a gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
Matthew 11:28-30 (NASB)
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and you recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t let anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)
How often do you find yourself trusting in your own efforts and you’re just plain tired and worn out? You keep trying, but you can’t seem to get that breakthrough. You are going to need to change direction. Change, focus, trust in Christ. He is your rest. He is your answer. Rest for your soul, your mind, your emotions. You have a lot of stuff happening. You need that rest and Jesus says, “Come on to Me.” You see, it’s all about Him. He says, “I will help you fix your business. I’ll help you get through this economic crisis. I’ll help you with your marriage. I’ll help you with your kids.” Everything points to Christ as we read in the Message Bible, “Get away with Me and you will recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me and watch how I do it.”
