“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11: 28-29, New Living Translation)

Jesus is offering rest, relief, peace, comfort through the Christ. We can release those heavy burdens of responsibility, guilt, resentment, fear, anxiety and discover the freedom of trust in God, good.

The Christ that gives us rest is that consciousness of God-with-us, of our inseparability from Almighty Truth, Life, and Love, and of our own identity as children of God, as the very expression of His perfect qualities and holy purpose.

Jesus called us to cast off those burdens and find freedom by following his example. And it was his humble gentleness that would bring this rightful rest for our souls. It is through a heart that is not full of self, but open and tender, loving and receptive, that we can lose those heavy loads of care, and find peace.

So, let yourself be taught by God. Let yourself listen, daily, for His instruction and direction. We can rely on God for what is needed each moment and trust His control over all. We can come to Christ—willingly draw close to God and His Truth about our natural freedom as children of light.
