Rest for the Soul

October 03, 2012 0 1

Matthew 11: 28-29

​“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” 

​At rest?

Or oppressed?

Does it really just depend on which ‘yoke’ I put on?

Is it that simple, Lord?

Then why do I do not just do what you say

and come to you

and learn from you?

You’ve promised to be here for me,

why am I so seldom there for you?

Jesus, I’m going to promise right now to turn to you more often,

and not just when I am weary and burdened.

Help me to be more like you 

when it comes to keeping my word.
