Simply Come

There are times in our lives when all of life gets in the way.  It seems like troubles come in multiples, and we can become overwhelmed.  We can wonder how we are going to keep breathing and keep moving forward in life.

Matthew 11:28-30 are words of comfort from our Savior, "Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."  KJV

We learn several things from our Lord's words here.  First is His desire for us to trust Him, but we also see that He recognizes two things.  He knows we are struggling deeply, and we need rest.  He assures us that He knows how to ease our burden.  We are told that He is our place of refuge because He is meek and lowly in heart, and He can provide rest for our souls.  Do we want rest? If we truly do then we must recognize what we need to do... come to Him. Otherwise rest will continue to elude us.
