COME TO ME

Come To Me
Are you weary, burdened, and stressed out? If so, you are not alone! How do you manage stress? Do you watch a movie, have a hobby, or play a sport that helps you unwind? Nothing is wrong with those things, but they can't provide the rest or restoration you need. You can always take a nap; it can rest your body, but naps won't rest your weary spirit. There's only one thing that can rest and restore our weary souls. Only Jesus can provide the soul rest and restoration that de-stresses our weary lives.
Friends, Jesus' invitation and promise in today's passage can offer the soul rest and restoration we need for our weary, overburdened, over-scheduled lives. Jesus says, "Come to me!" He doesn't say come to Church, come to Bible study, or a small group. True soul rest is only possible through a relationship with Jesus. What our weary souls need most is quiet time alone with Jesus. Finding a quiet place and then spending quiet time alone with our Lord is critical! As you sit with Him, pray, read your Bible, and listen to Him. If you're running on empty and need to recharge, go to Jesus; He promises the rest that our weary souls desperately need.
Onward and Upward +
