"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

The Living Bible says, "Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11: 28

Do you carry a heavy burden today? Are you weary? Are the daily routines of life wearing you down? Then you need to stop, and take time at the feet of Jesus. Jesus promises us rest, but first there is something that we need to do. In the beginning of this verse, it says "Come to me". In order to have rest from our burdens and weariness that we carry around, we must first "come to Him". Have you took time out, to bring your burdens to the Lord? Have you took time to sit at His feet? We need to spend time in His Word to renew our minds, and spend time in His presence to refresh our souls. Vs. 29 says"Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden is light." Jesus says, "learn from me or let me teach you". How do we learn from Him if we are too busy being busy? If you need rest for your soul today, then "come to Him" and let Him refresh your soul!
