Does this verse describe you? Are you weary? Weary of trying to do things your way? Are you burdened? Struggling with what to do and how to do it? Are you under a burden of guilt and condemnation? Are you burdened by the extras you are taking on? Are you exhausted from trying to live a perfect life? Are you beating yourself up because you don't seem to be able to accomplish it? Then this verse is for you.
The Lord is giving you an invitation to lay down all your
cares, to let go of the heavy burdens, to come out from under the load of guilt
and to have peace and rest. How do you accept this invitation? You do it by
applying the first three words-- "Come unto Me".
Go to Him, don't stay there continuing to "work it out".
Don't keep trying to no avail. Don't keep laboring. Lay it down at His feet.
Hand it over to Him. Place it in His hands. And then you will stop
struggling. You will stop being confused. Then your burden will lift and your
labor- weariness and exhaustion- will stop.
Have a great. Accept the Lord's gracious invitation to
come to Him and lay your burdens down. Then you will receive His rest.
