Matthew 11:28
Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
----------------------------------------------------------------
After a long day’s work, we all feel tired. And yet we still need to drive or commute back home. We really feel weary that we do not have anymore time to check on our kids, kiss our spouse or even talk at all…
…and yet, we would still have time and energy to open our computers and check on our emails, just in case, that something important came up.
So, are we really just tired physically? Or really tired of this life we have…?
A burden is the heaviness of the heart, soul and spirit. It's something that you might have done or it could be a natural thing that has happened.
May we learn to share each other's burdens, and in this way, our family can help us through it. The rest that we receive, we know we don't deserve it. But we believe that the Lord will give us the ability to have peace and confidence of mind.
We may not remove the whole burden, but we must still come to Him with trust in our hearts; we lay it all out to Him, for we trust in Him forever and our lives to Him we surrender.
What task of yours is too great to bear? Christ wants you to come to him for rest. He will give you peace and ease and comfort. We must not focus on the burden we have. We must focus on how God has blessed us. We must let God handle our burdens.
Let us pray +
Almighty Father, teach me to be a burden-bearer, not a burden-passer. And as I help lift other people’s burden – I know You will lift mine, for You are a merciful God. I shall never think I am too important to help someone, for if that is what I believe, then I am only fooling myself. Amen +
O bless the Lord, my soul!
