What He Said

Come to Me,

all you who labor and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

-Jesus, Matthew 11:28

He didn't say:

            Come to Me, all you who

                            Have a meal plan

                            Got your finances in order

                            Stay caught up on laundry

                            Hit your goal weight

He didn't say:

            Come to Me, all you who

                            Are killing it at your job

                            Have the perfect home life

                            Keep your house spotless

                            Are a model spouse/parent/sibling

He didn't say:

            Come to Me, all you who

                            Never lose it

                            Got the credit cards paid off

                            Have it all figured out

                            Are living your best life now

                               

No. He didn't say any of those things.   

He DID say:

               Come to Me, all you who

                            Labor (weary)

                            Are heavy laden (carrying big burdens)

                            

If this Labor Day finds you weary - finds you carrying heavy burdens at home... at work... in your heart - Jesus has a place for you. It's next to Him. The Savior of those who are tired, overworked, weak, and weighed down. 

Take heart, fellow laborer. We have a Savior who has a place of rest for us. Go to Him. Carry your weariness and your worries to Him. 

                            He wants them. 

                            He wants you. 

                            He said so.
