Come to Me, All You Who Are Weary

Come to Me, All You Who Are Weary
by Sarah Young, Jesus Calling

 

Learn to relate to others through My Love rather than yours.

Your human love is ever so limited, full of flaws and manipulation. My loving Presence, which always enfolds you, is available to bless others as well as you.

Instead of trying harder to help people through your own paltry supplies, become aware of My unlimited supply, which is accessible to you continually.

Let My Love envelop your outreach to other people.

Many of My precious children have fallen prey to burnout. A better description of their condition might be “drainout.” Countless interactions with needy people have drained them, without their conscious awareness. You are among these weary ones, who are like wounded soldiers needing R&R.

Take time to rest in the Love-Light of My Presence.

I will gradually restore to you the energy that you have lost over the years. Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and you will find rest for your souls.

Exodus 33:14; Matthew 11:28-29

Matthew 11:28-30 may be one of the most beloved verses in the Bible. But to truly understand the passage, you need to know the background. In this passage the Lord was addressing the people of Israel who were burdened and weighed down with the legalism of the Pharisees, and calling them to be free of religious oppression and have a relationship with Him! What a comfort this is today... that Jesus invites us all to experience joy through grace and faith in Him!
