βThen Jesus said, βCome to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.β
ββMatthewβ¬ β11β¬:β28β¬ βNLTβ¬β¬
π In this passage, we read Jesus' most fundamental invitation.
"Come to me,"
he says, and we cannot help but exhale. We are weary of our own struggles, the brokenness of the world, the painful relationships in our lives. We are burdened by our drive to achieve, by unmet expectations, by the wounds we carry with us. The sins of our pasts and the pain we have caused haunt us, and we long to be free. Aware of what pulls at our hearts, Jesus invites us not to believe doctrines or abide by rules but to find in him the rest we have been longing for.
I pray that, we may find our rest in Jesusβ presence. Good morning everyone. To God be all the Glory.
