rest for the weary

[Jesus said,] "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

—Matthew 11:28

Hey ya’all, it is Friday!!! 

Ten days until Christmas, preparations under way and some of us are at the brink of exhaustion!

It is nice when someone offers to take something off my plate, especially during this crazy busy thing called life.

It is really nice to be invited to rest in Jesus.

Song reference!! Kari Jobe sings this one:

Come to me you weary one
And I will give you rest, I will give you rest
Come to me you weary one
And I will give you rest, I will give you rest
For my own is easy and my burden is light
Take me upon you, I will give you rest

Come to me you broken one
And I will give you peace, I will give you peace
Come to me you broken one
And I will give you peace, I will give you peace
You will calm your waters, and I will whisper peace be still
Take me upon you, I will give you peace

Come to me, Come to me
Come to me
I have been waiting for you here
I have been waiting for you here

Come to me you burdened one
And I will give you joy, I will give you joy
Come to me you burdened one
And I will give you joy, I will give you joy
You will rise like eagles, and my joy will be your strength
Take me upon you, I will give you joy

Come to me, Come to me
Come to me
I have been waiting for you here
He has been waiting for you here

Come, Come to Him
Come find your peace
Come find your rest
Come find your joy
He is waiting here for you, he is waiting here for you
With open arms, to hold you, to embrace your heart
To love you
He is waiting here, He is waiting here

What a wonderful opportunity we are given!

Take time to pause and place our hopes, our future, our dreams, and especially our burdens down at His feet and let Him give us rest.

Have a blessed day!
