""Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
I believe there is a misconception in the word rest, Jesus never lived on easy street. Following Christ opens up a whole new world to us but the troubles of life do not go away. Look at the circumstances as blessings from God for He allows them to happen. He is giving each of us what is necessary for our own good. Knowing God is in charge gives your soul comfort. You know He is helping you on your pilgrimage. There is rest in following Christ, there are holy insights to the joys of life even in the turmoil. Relax and sing praise to your creator, He loves you that much.
What is God saying to me: Peace is at the center of your Christian walk. I do not give you anything you can not handle.
Dear Father, my soul just wants to sing praise to you this morning. I thank You for all the blessings in our lives. I thank You God for the peace that resides in my heart. I thank You for the wonderful Saints You put on our path. I thank You Father this morning for the soul who is at rest even though he suffers. He is a living example of a holy life. Father I just want to say thank You for all the blessings and gifts You pour out upon us. May we recognize the joy in following Your lead. I ask this in the name above ever other name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Suffering, pray for us.
