“Come to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Accept my teachings and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find rest for your lives. The burden that I ask you to accept is easy; the load I give you to carry is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
Are you tired of trying? Are you tired of waiting? Are you mentally exhausted from trying to figure life out? Have you gotten fed up with wondering if your efforts are worth it? Have you ever wondered if all your investment of time, energy, anxiety and frustration are going to eventually pay off? Welcome to the Club!
Look at the words of Jesus. If you are tired and are over burdened, go to Him and He will give you rest! Wherever Jesus went, people brought to Him their burdens of their existence: sick, lame, possessed, needing insight, needing hope, and He gave them rest. He didn't lecture them on Systematic Theology. He didn't shove religion down their throats. He didn't deliver a treatise on Doctrines or Systems or Methods or Rituals...He gave them rest! Rest from the burdens of life. Rest from the things that bind us to this cycle of depression, obsession, worry, irritation, frustration.
And guess what? He was called Lord and Savior and each found rest.
