He Will Give You Rest

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)

This is an open invitation for you to come find rest in the Lord Jesus Christ. He’s inviting you into a personal relationship with Him. He’s inviting you to come trade your pain for His peace—to lay it all down at His feet. 

Take notice of how it specifically says “all of you.” This is not an exclusive invitation. It includes all who are weary and burdened—all who are exhausted and weighed down by the struggles of life—all who are ladened with things like sin, guilt, anxiety, depression, grief, and so much more.

Jesus is promising to give you the rest that you so desperately need. This is not the type of rest that you can find anywhere in this world, but rather the kind that only He can provide. It’s a deep, spiritual rest that comes along with trusting in Him.
