Matthew 11:28-30
Matthew 11:28--Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest--is too good to be quickly left behind. So I'm going to linger here. I'm going to linger here because I kept coming across a version of this verse in Handel's Messiah ("Come unto him all ye that labor") today as I drove around town. I'm going to linger here because after a walk and good conversation with a friend on her front porch, she prayed with me and said, "As Julie takes your yoke, you lift it from her shoulders". (The image was beautiful--if the yoke is light it is because he carries the other side.)
I'm going to linger here because I know that I need rest. It is the rest that comes from trusting God--the rest that comes from turning to him and finding his gentle and humble heart.
