come to me, all who are weary
hello sweet friends, life is hard sometimes. y'all know this. we don't live in Eden. our homes aren't seated in paradise. the world we live in is a broken, sinful, beautiful, freezing at times, hot mess of a place. due to the fall, we're the same. hurting, sinning, way too busy, worn out people trying to make a name for ourselves. and this is hard. things don't go our way. we forget about important obligations and have to face the consequences. we are worn out from studying our butts off and still not making the grade. we are exhausted from pouring into relationships and then having friends fail us and turn away. we are weary from trying to abide by God's laws when others aren't. guys, i don't know about you, but i'm in serious need of rest. in Matthew 11:28 (Message version) it says, “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
