Rest

, , 4

Then Jesus said,

“Come to me, .
all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28 NLT
 

Just reading those words brought me great comfort today.

How many are troubled and feel as if they are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders?

How many feel so beat down and as if they just cannot win this battle?

If you are weary, take heart! Jesus is simply asking you to come unto Him.

Come … just as you are … each and every one that is struggling right this minute.

Whatever it is that you are facing, Jesus knows, and He wants you to cast all of your cares on Him.

He cares for you, He loves you with an unconditional love!

He knows you’re having a difficult time right now. Come rest in the arms of Jesus.

Rest, child … rest.

Feel Jesus wrap His loving arms around you and comfort you as only He can.

Yes, rest in the arms of Jesus!

Ten Days Before Christmas

Ten days before Christmas we learned of another star that has taken his life.  Twenty-four hours prior, there was a video posted of him dancing, smiling, and playing around.  No one knew the feelings he was hiding, and no one knew that the next day he would walk down the street and take his own […]

Seasons of Change

With Daylight Savings comes a variety of changes, not just those on the hands of a clock.  We “fell backwards” this past weekend, and in doing so, there is less light for us to enjoy in the evening.  It feels like we’re purged into total darkness as if it were the midnight hour, and yet […]
