Jesus Will Give You Rest

MATTHEW 11:28-30 NIV 28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Are you struggling? Do you feel like you are barely keeping your head above water? If you feel like you are struggling and striving just to make it -- you need to turn to Jesus. He will give you rest. If you say that you have turned to Jesus and you think His yoke is hard and His burden is heavy -- you are deceived. You need to cast your care on the Lord and learn of Him. So many people are striving and struggling to get God to love them when He already loves them and accepts them. Living a successful Christian life is not done by our own strength or willpower. It is the result of depending on the Lord. Only He can do it. Quit trusting in your plans and abilities and efforts, and trust in Jesus instead. Turn things over to Him. Let Him be Lord in your life.

It's been months since I've seen verses from the Bible. I miss going to the church, i can hardly go to church anymore. but i do pray often early in the morning. i hope i can go to church this sunday. Perharps i should start praying again just to strengthen my faith and love to the lord. I've been like a hypocrite lately

Amen. Another good reminder to trust everything to God and not just focus on trusting the self. Sure that is important in helping people get through with the day to day activities and just generally living in life. But still, we wouldnt have any life if He did not give it to us in the first place. Take care always and God Bless.^_^

Greatest passage i have heard: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. And all this things shall be added unto you."
