Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
- Matthew 11:25-30
Moving is tiring.
I am feeling a little tired, weary and worn this week.
So, these words from this Sunday’s gospel reading feel like a special gift.
If you are weary from a busy week or just from the state of the world, if you are carrying the heavy burden of grief, anxiety or disappointment, I hope you too receive these words of Jesus as a blessing and gift.
Our humble and gentle-hearted Jesus calls out to the tired, the weary, the worn and burdened, and offers rest.
Lay down your burdens at the feet of Jesus, even if just for a moment, and rest.
Thanks be to God!
