Jesus Gives True Rest

“Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls”.  Matthew 11:29

Come to the Lord, all you who are tired, anxious, and worn out. Jesus will give you rest. He will lighten the burden you carry. He will show you the way that you should go.

Go to Him, you who have done wrong, and have been plagued by guilt, shame, and rejection. Go to Him and confess all your cares upon the one who will truly forgive you. For Jesus is kind and full of mercy towards all those who bring their sins before Him. He will relieve you from the sentence that has been judged upon your life and show you the best path forward.

Draw near to Jesus Christ all you all you who are sick and wounded. Trust in Him, all you who find it difficult to carry on with your life. For He will stay close by your side and bring comfort. He will never leave you behind. Our God can heal, mend, restore, and bring you upon the best path forward. He will bring relief even during times of suffering. 

Rest upon your Savior all you lonely and brokenhearted. Stay close to Jesus and pray to Him. For He can comfort and restore you, and bring you on to a whole new path of healing. He can guide you and mend the broken relationships in your life. He will walk beside you as you grieve the loss of those whom you loved and show you new purpose as the years unfold before you.

Stay close to Jesus, all you work hard in life to make a living. Trust in His Words and take time to apply them to your life. For He will help you find a balance to do your best, not only at work, but throughout all the rest of your life. For God’s measure of success is not determined through material things only, but is spiritual. Remember, that all things in life belong to God and all things are for Him. 

We are God’s precious creation, made in His image. He formed us and has known us since the dawning of time. We were made to live before Him in His very presence. Seek His Way and He will give you rest. Clear a path for His life giving Spirit so that He can live more abundantly in you. As you do, God will make you stronger, and more filled with the power of His wisdom and love.

Find your comfort in Jesus Christ our savior. Trust in His ways and in His promises and He will fill you in ways that make your life more complete than you were before. In our lives we can never be perfect, but He will save us unto eterity. We will not be without problems and some regrets, but fully forgiven. Still frail and subject to illness and injury, but healed into the deepest depths of our souls. Listen again to Jesus this day, “Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.   3/18/2026

God is Our Comfort

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

The Lord is My strength when I have become weak. He is my comfort when sadness has overtaken me

When the loss of someone comes, as surely they come to all who live, when the pain of separation swells and washes over me, He gently rests His hand upon my shoulder to remind me that He is there

God calms our nerves when they’ve frayed from the blows that come from living

For when we rest upon the promises of God, they will give us comfort and cause us to see with a far-reaching perspective, the nature of life and death

How great is our God, that He takes the time to visit ones so small and brings healing through the power of His love

By the works of all His manifest ways, through His Spirit, from His Son, and by His power, He mends us and guides our way through dark valleys

Oh Lord, I thank You for Your presence. I rejoice in the ways You uplift those who trust in You and heal the broken places with your gentle touch

So that even in such dark times, we can see hope through the light that you shine upon us

The Lord is faithful to those who put their faith in Him. He lifts them up as they put their trust in His ways

He loves those who love Him, and cares for those who walk according to His ways

In this world, our lives will have to endure many trials and pain. We can’t even imagine what might happen in the coming years. But we can be sure that there will be the pains of loss, illness, and suffering

In Christ we always have hope. He will lift us up and help us overcome all of life’s challenges

Rejoice during the days of calm and peace. Thank God, and praise Him, for they are truly gifts from Him. Sing forth with joy, for our trials will not last forever

Our God is faithful, trust in His promises. He will never leave us or forsake us, and will certainly provide us the strength to overcome the darkest day

God will stay with us during all the uncertain days of our lives. Even unto the farthest days of eternity. Amen.   7/22/2021
