“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavyladen, and I will give you rest.”

MATTHEW 11:28

Perhaps the strain and burden of life have made you tired. If so, maybe you are carrying life too heavily. Primarily, we do not get tired in our muscles but in our minds. We develop that “I’m swamped” feeling.

Allow this text to dissolve in your thoughts as a kind of spiritual lozenge. As you turn to Jesus in your thoughts, He will give you rest. And how does He do that? One way is by showing you how to work.

“Learn of Me,” He says. In other words, work by My method. “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:30).

That is to say, easy does it. Don’t strain, don’t tug, relax. Do one job at a time using the light touch, the easy stroke.
