HE IS WAITING FOR US

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30 KJV

Not only is Jesus calling us so that He can give us rest, He is also waiting for us with His arms open wide.  His heart is filled with compassion, tenderness and unconditional love for us.  He knows how it feels to be tired.  Jesus also became weary when He was here on His mission and needed to be encouraged.

Jesus is waiting for us to come to Him but He is also waiting for us to serve Him and spread His unconditional love to everyone we see.  To serve Jesus, we will have to shut the television off and get out of our comfort zone.  Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to die on the cross for our sins. 

Heavenly Father, I pray for every person who is discouraged, heartbroken and weary.  Would You please comfort them as only You can.  Jesus, thank You for the many times You have given me rest.  Thank You for dying for my sins and for never leaving me.  I love You, precious Jesus.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
