Matthew 11:28 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Jesus came to give us life. As part of that, He wants us to bring our burdens and our heaviness to Him and give them to Him.
Most of us tend to carry way too many things on our shoulders for way too long. We have a tendency to think we need to fix everything ourselves.
Yes, there are things we need to do, but many things are beyond our control. And those are the things we need to lay at the cross and give to God.
There are many things that can weigh us down. Emotional wounds are one of them. Maybe someone has hurt us at some point in our past and we’re carrying those wounds with us. Those types of things can weigh us down for years, if we let them.
As a child of God, we need to learn to let God show us how to handle them. We need to give them to Him and let Him show us how to forgive and then let Him help us heal.
This isn’t always an easy process, but if we take the first step to get it started, we will be much better off. God has a way of healing things that we could never figure out ourselves. And He doesn’t just put bandages on our wounds. He fixes them the right way!
And when everything is said and done, that burden is lifted from us and we can move on with our life, minus the burden that we’ve been carrying.
So go to Him today. Give it to Him. Lay it down and let Him teach you how to let it go. And ask Him to help you forgive those who have hurt you. And then take one day at a time as you let Him help you with this.
Go ahead. Let Him give you rest.
