Come to Me

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden  and  overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls" (Matthew 11:28 AMP). Jesus invites us, all who labor and are heavy laden, to come to Him. He invites us to go and find rest under His wings in His presence. There's no other place to find this great rest. We can go into a room, lie on a bed, and sleep for hours. That kind of rest is good for the physical, but we need to find rest for our souls. There's only one place to find rest true rest for our souls, and that is in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ. True rest comes when we abide in the deep presence of God. Jesus calls us to come to Him, take up His yoke upon us, and to learn of His ways. For He is meek and humble, lowly in heart. We will find rest "relief, ease, and refreshment for our souls". His yoke is not burdensome. It's not harsh. It's not hard. It is comfortable and gracious. His burden is light and easy to bear. Christ Jesus has given us an invitation to come to Him to find rest. Learn of Christ and His sacrifice and walk in faith not by sight. God bless you.
