“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.” Matthew 11:28 MSG
What an amazing promise from Jesus! It’s a promise of the life that comes from a close relationship with Him, not from religiously following the rules but by getting to know Him! We weren’t designed to carry the heavy burdens of life on our own, or the weight of our sin. Just trying to live this life without God always results in weariness in so many different ways. But when we come to Him, when we get to know what He has done for us, and start to trust and obey Him, burdens get lifted, the weight of sin and guilt is removed, and we get to experience a freedom and a lightness that makes life so much better, my past dealt with, and my future secure! Lord, thank You for this incredible invitation, thank You for all You have done so that I could truly know You. As I choose to come to You and get away with You, would You lift anything that is weighing me down and wearing me out right now. Please help me to experience the breakthrough with You and recover the life You have planned for me. Amen 🙏🏼
