“Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest…” (Matt. 11:28) Are ready to do this; ready to actually come to Jesus Christ? Are you prepared to lay aside everything when you come to Him in prayer; come to Him with all you are or hope to be?
It is time to come right now. Do not wait until you are in a desperate situation. Please do not put off coming to Him today. At the very beginning of your daily routine, you can come to Him and your day will have the renewed purpose and power which He so liberally offers you.
In coming to Him, we must put aside anxious thoughts, our plans and schemes, our deepest doubts and fears and just approach Him stripped of all that is not simple, plain and honest. As we come before Him, naked in our need, He will meet us where we are. He promises to do so. And, that is not all He does. He gives us assurance that He understands that we are weary and feel heavily burdened. Remember that He became a man and experienced weariness. He knew what a heavy burden felt like too. He will give us the rest we so desire.
That rest Jesus Christ gives us is actually restoration and renewal brought to us by His great strength and power. It fits us for activity and purposefulness, not lethargy and a nap! So come, surrender your heavy load and acknowledge that King Jesus knows best and means what he says. Act upon His wonderful invitation. Wait and see how marvelous it feels to be given over to His will and purpose. Doma
