Come to me, all
you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest
Matt. 11:28 (NIV)
Come
Jesus invites a certain group of people to spend time
with Him.
All
Our Savior makes no distinction of who can enter His
presence. He invites each of His children to converse with Him, to “hang out
with Him.”
who are weary
and burdened.
Jesus extends his invitation, not to those who “have it
altogether,” but to those who are bone-tired and are consumed by fears and
the weight of their world.
Each of us, have had times when we did not believe we
could get through a certain condition we found ourselves in. We find ourselves
crying out to the LORD for help.
We have scriptural evidence that Jesus wants us to bring
those sorrows, those pains, and those discomforts to Him and allow Him to work
out those issues for us.
And I will give you rest.
Jesus’ desire for us, His children, is that we are not
encumbered by cares or fears. He knows what these emotions can do to us. They
can impair our work, our health, and our well-being.
He always welcomes us into his presence, no matter our
need or what we have done that may have displeased Him.
As we are in the latter half of the Lenten season, we are
in special circumstances with our lives. The Coronavirus protection measures have limited life as we know it. Certain items have become scarce. People with
underlying health issues are strongly encouraged to stay inside and away from other
people. Houses of worship have been closed for at least two weeks. Grocery
stores have begun placing limits on quantities of certain products.
What we all need to remember is this: GOD IS IN CONTROL.
