Finding Rest In Jesus
Matthew 11:28-30
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Jesus invites us to come to Him when we're weary and burdened. In a world that often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and stressed, Christ offers true rest for our souls. This rest isn't just physical relaxation, but a deep spiritual and emotional renewal. Today, reflect on the areas of your life where you feel most burdened. How can you actively "come to Jesus" with these burdens? Consider practical ways to surrender control and trust in His gentle and humble leadership. Remember, Jesus' yoke is easy and His burden is light - He wants to carry our loads with us, not add to them.
