Is anybody else feeling drained?...I don't know about you guys but I know for me sometimes it seems like with every passing day a little bit of energy is taken from me...in fact usually by mid-day I am completely worn out...especially on days like today. Today was one of those..."Wow I had a really good morning and everything got really chaotic really quickly" kind of days...and it's days like today that I need time to unwind.
God can bring us the rest we need if we allow him.
In fact he tells us this in His word.
Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30:
  "Come to me, all 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."
Jesus tells us that we will find our rest in Him, and yet sometimes we still reject His Spirit. He is calling out to us...waiting for us...waiting for us to lay down our burdens at His feet so that he may take them up and give us the gift of His spirit, free and easy, light-hearted and full of joy and hope.
If you haven't spent much time with God today or even lately...I strongly encourage you do! Because nothing brings relief like being in the arms of the One who sets us free!
BRING HIM YOUR BURDENS TODAY!!
