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!
