In Matthew 11: 28-30 Jesus said, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, learn of me, for I am meek and lowly and you shall find rest for your souls." Do you need rest? Jesus promised rest ,so why don't we His children have it? Maybe, it's because we are trying to pull the whole load of our lives ourselves. We forget that Jesus invited us to yoke up with Him, so that He can help bear our life load.
In 1 Peter 5:6-7, we are told to cast all of our cares upon Him for He cares for us watchfully. Peter tells us that the Lord is willing to bear the whole load of our cares. Paul reminds us in Philippians 4: 13 that we can do whatever we need to with Christ as our strength.
Do you see that He offers to bear our burdens, provide strength of daily living, and be there to take the weight of our lives upon Him as we are willing to allow Him? It's up to you and me. Will you and I let Him be your weight lifter?
