“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
Where do we go when our hearts are heavy and our lives are hard? To the One whose yoke is easy and burden light. To the One who carried our sorrows and shame. To the One who intercedes on our behalf before the Father. Our rest is not a reward for struggling through - but rest is the relief of knowing that Christ upholds all things by the word of His power.
Invite the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the places in which God has dealt kindly and bountifully with you.
How might these remembrances enable you to rest in this moment?
