I will give you rest

Matthew 11:28-30


 28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Christ offers to trade your burdens for his burdens which is tells us is lite, for he has over come the world for us. So pray tell what is that we need to really stress???


If you feel like you are struggling and striving just to make
it -- you need to turn to Christ. He will give you rest.

If you say that you have turned to Christ and you think His yoke
is hard and His burden is heavy -- you are deceived.

You need to cast your care on the Lord and learn of Him. So
many people are striving and struggling to get God to love them
when He already loves them and accepts them.

Living a successful Christian life is not done by our own
strength or willpower. It is the result of depending on the
Lord. Only He can do it.

Quit trusting in your plans and abilities and efforts, and
trust in Christ our Lord and Savior instead. Turn things over to Him. Let Him be
Lord in your life.

The world tells us that we don't need a single soul that a true man stand alone, but that is a lie
a true man is  a man after God's on heart. One who is able to admit to the Lord that he is flawed
from birth and needs the Lord to deliever him.  Are you that kind of man or woman, who realizes
your only hope is and should be in Christ.

None of us have escaped our childhood without some scars and bruises, maybe it was a spouse, maybe it was a parent, maybe it was friend, a church, a boss, a co-worker. Regardless of the who, the when or even the why.  Christ says in Revelations that he stands at the knocking, if any man or woman will hear him and invite him in, then will he take way your burdens if you will but give them to him.  Aren't you tired of carrying them around???

Give them to him and let him give you rest in return.....

Often we sing words to songs, but do not pay attention to them. I just sang these very words from Handel's "Messiah". These words are telling us to confide in God and only God. He will deliver us from our worries, cares, and burdens. He is waiting for us to lay our cares upon Him. Amen!? Amen!!
