Have you ever felt weary and worn out from life’s’ struggles? If  not, I am sure that you eventually will. Life’s struggles cause us to become weary at heart. Notice I said weary at heart. Life can overwhelm us to the point to cause our entire being to become weary. But the Master has a cure for weakness and weariness. In Matthew 11:28, we find these words:

“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.’”

This invitation is extended to all who are burdened and weary. The invitation, found in verses 29 -30, says “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of 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.” The invitation is still extended today. Jesus will give us joy in the midst of our suffering. He will give us peace that passes all understanding. The songwriter said, “I came to Jesus just as I was, weary, wounded and sad: I found in Him a resting place, and He has made me glad.”
