REST FOR THE WEARY Matthew 11:28-29

Matthew 11:28-29

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Rest for the weary. Ever felt the cards are stacked against your favor? Have you ever felt that the world as a whole works against you? I use to think that way after I stopped going to church. It's a horrible feeling. I got down to reading the Gospel according to Matthew this weekend, a couple chapters of bible reading per day and your soul will recharge itself. I read this passage from above and flashed back to my High School days from Santa Barbara, Ca (St. Anthony's Seminary 1985). Things were much different back than, but the stress was the same. It puts a whole new concept, how you deal with stress, how you interact with your family, friends, and co-workers. MUST have Christ in the center of your life deal with such stress, I find a whole new way of looking at life with my high school days a block form. The Stress that's from Family issues, my Son has a genetic disorder, divisions within the family circle, The fiances mounting into a mountain of debt, and work gets ever demanding on performance. That's the Stress I am talking about, but I SHOULD NOT complain because I know to a certain degree that My neighbor next to me has it that much harder in LIFE. It's Jesus Christ that pulls it in all together to deal with your Stress on a day to day basis.

The Holidays is upon us, So go out and serve the Lord by volunteering, give away to the needy, and praise God for the GIFT OF LIFE! Allow Jesus Christ into your Life and let HIM take the burden of your troubles in your life.

God Bless, Your brother in Christ, Tim
