“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]” (Matthew 11: 28, Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)

Don’t we all want some relief at times, a refreshment not only for our bodies, but for our souls?

We may get enough sleep or take vacations, but are we truly finding that sweet release from care that this verse is offering us, that the Christ is calling us to accept? To come into the Love of God truly causes us to lay our burdens down. It enforces a rest that goes beyond our human hopes for balance and peace.

We may feel like all we do is work, labor, toil and that it can be too much to handle. We may love our work but also feel that its productivity and outcome is reliant solely on us. We may be burdened with care for others—family, friends, even the well-being of our world.

But to come to Me—to the wonderful arms of God and His perfect power, love, and strength—enables us to let go of the ego’s fears and sense of personal control, and to realize God’s harmonious government of all. We can consciously choose to step away mentally from the anxiety and the willfulness and the pride, and humbly let God carry the load.

We can breathe, pause, rest, and find that refreshment and renewal that reaches our souls and brings us a new sense of life that is surely impactful, but no longer weary with care and heavy with a burden that was never ours to carry.
