Rest for Today

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Come.

Don’t worry about your hair, your clothes, those dishes piled in the sink.

Just come.

Are your children are fighting you every step of the way?

Come.

Do you feel like all of your life is a battle? I have given you armor. I am your strength. All you have to do is…

Come.

You’ve blown it and don’t know why I would want you? You can’t do it on your own? I know.

Come.

Come battered and scarred by those who claim my name.

Come wounded by your own choices.

Come angry with unanswered questions.

Come scared with broken dreams.

Come naked, come hungry, come lonely, come abandoned, come.

Come for I will give you rest.

Come for My yoke is easy, My burden light.

Come…find rest for your souls.

Will you come and rest with Jesus?
