I Will Give You Rest

"Come to Me, all of you who labor & are heavy laden, & I will give you rest. (Matt. 11:28 NKJV)

Anybody out there tired?  Anybody feel like  you've been beaten down & you just need to catch your breath & get your second wind?  Christ is the place to go.  You can go to Him & rest there in His strength & in His arms.  Too often we try to go on our own & that's what wears us down.  If we would just rely on Him & trust in Him, our burden would be so much lighter.  As in one of my favorite books, "Pilgrims Progress" we spend too much time carrying around that backpack of the past, our fears, worries , & failures.  If we would take that backpack to the cross & leave it there, Christ will dispose of it for us & we can walk much lighter.  Sometimes, we get tired & its hard to take that rest but we can always  go to the One Who gives us rest.  If youre feeling tired & worn down claim this promise for your day & rest in our Redeemer.  He will refresh you.
