Life
is crazy! Would you agree with that statement? At times, we all search for
nothing more than calm and rest. Not only a physical rest, but a spiritual one.
Life is hard and messy. It is filled with challenges. Some of those difficulties
take a toll on you. At times, going through the journey of life, we long for that
rest. A rest of the soul. Worry, anxiety, pain and other things seek to
overcome us.
Matthew
11:28-30 (ESV)
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Jesus’ call is
to everyone. Turn to me. Come to me. He is waiting and always there.
Maybe, you are thinking, “Jesus, you want
ME to come to YOU?! I am so undeserving.” And you are correct. We all are
undeserving, but our God is a God of mercy and grace. The Bible says in Romans
5:8, “but God
shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for
us.” (ESV) We rejoice in that. Rejoice in the completed work of Christ
on the cross. Rest in HIM. In the journey of life, run to HIM! Turn to HIM!
Find your rest in HIM.
