Do you ever feel tired? Do you ever feel burdened and crushed by the weight of what you have to deal with in life? Perhaps work is overwhelming or perhaps its family and relationships, or perhaps it is an illness or death, or maybe its just the suffering that a friend has shared with you. We all have burdens and sorrows in our lives and they can weigh down on us sometimes. Jesus shares these words with us; Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Knowing our need for rest, God designed it into the very creation order, giving us one day in 7 to rest through his example. Come to Christ again and again and cast your cares on Him. He cares for you and listens, and you don't need to be worried that he will not be able to handle it. He will give you rest, and just bringing the burden to him can ease the load on your shoulders. God made us. He knows how we work and how we tend to burden ourselves down with things that we have no need to bear. Drop those burdens onto the shoulders of Christ. Bring them to him and leave them at the cross
