JESUS IS WAITING

“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

Pastor Charles P. Jones wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn “Come unto Me.  “Are you disappointed, wandering here and there, Dragging chains of doubt and loaded down with care? Do unholy feelings struggle in your breast? Bring your case to Jesus—He will give you rest.”

It doesn’t matter how many crises and dark valleys we have to go through, Jesus is waiting to give us rest.  There are times when we don’t take our burdens to Jesus and then we wonder why we have so many heartaches.  We try to do things by ourselves but we need Jesus to help us.

We read in the Bible “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5).  It’s time that we learn to trust Jesus and lean on Him for support.  May God help us to learn on Jesus instead of trying to do things ourselves.
