Matthew
11
28 Then
Jesus said,
"Come
to me,
all
of you who are weary
and
carry heavy burdens,
and
I will give you rest.
29 Take
my yoke upon you.
Let
me teach you,
because
I am humble
and
gentle at heart,
and
you will find rest for your souls.
30 For
my yoke is easy to bear,
and
the burden I give you is light."
Would any of us consider ourselves to
be “weary”?
Dictionary.com
defines “weary” as “physically
or mentally exhausted by hard work, exertion, strain, or fatigue:”
But if
we are “weary”, we don't need me or anyone else to define it for
us.
We know
if we are.
How many
of us “carry heavy burdens”?
Most of
us who do know if we do.
Most of
us who “carry heavy burdens” don't talk about it much, nor do
people usually know what kind of load we're carrying...
...and
even fewer care that we do.
If any
of us fit into either of these catagories, Jesus has something
specific to say to us...
Come
to
Me.
The God
of the universes whose existence completely outstrips our ability to
comprehend, says 3 words to us, who are fare less than a nanospeck in
the cosmos...
Come
to
Me.
Whatever
each of us could imagine that would mean, let's all rest in the fact
that it is infinitely more than could ever come up with.
Many of
us don't or can't believe that.
That
disbelief doesn't change at all what He offers.
We might
think, “it can't be what I'm longing for.”
Well,
we'll never know unless we make a move to to what He asks.
And
consider this...
...what
if by coming to Him,
connecting
with Him,
&
handing over to Him what makes us weary,
or
whatever burdens we carry,
we
actually get the lifting of that load,
&
that succor we seek?
What
have we got to lose?
Why not
let ourselves come to Him?
