“Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you 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. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”\u00a0 Matthew 11: 25-20<\/p>\n

Our Pastor gave a great sermon on this Scripture on Sunday.\u00a0 He spoke about what it means to Truly Find Rest.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Are you getting rest?\u00a0 Are you getting quiet time?\u00a0 Jesus gave us a command for this.\u00a0 He said,\u00a0 “All Ye who are tired and Burden, Come Ye and You will Find Rest!”.<\/p>\n WOW!! I don’t know about you, but I am so very comforted by these words.\u00a0 In fact, I get chills as I type them.\u00a0 Yes, I am tired and burdened.\u00a0 How can I not be?\u00a0 Everyone seems to be trying to get to the next thing before trying to finish the current project or task.\u00a0 We are constantly told that we are not good enough, pretty enough, thin, tall….. enough. The list goes on and on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Are you getting rest?\u00a0 Less is truly more for our souls.\u00a0 Do something outside of your normal routine.\u00a0 Spend some quiet time with our Savior.\u00a0 Read a devotional.\u00a0 Read new Scripture.\u00a0 Pray. Sing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What are you tired from?\u00a0 Jesus cares and wants to know about this.\u00a0 Only our Father can provide you with the rest that you so need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
