Matt. 11

Feeling weary or burdened today?  Jesus is sending out an invitation to you specifically today.  He invites you into His "rest".  

I find the ending of this chapter one the most encouraging things that Jesus invites us to join him in.  Clearly He is not inviting us into retirement, nor is he saying, "let's take a vacation together".  Look carefully at what He is saying.  COME TO ME.

The things that weary me are generally all of the things that I am seeking to do apart from Jesus.  His desire is for us to "yoke up" (walk) with Him.  It is in walking with Jesus that we find encouragement, energy and purpose.  His desire is not to "burden" us, but rather to invite us to live our lives for His purposes.
