Come to me, all you who are struggling hard and carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. ~ Matthew 11:28 (CEB)
Lord, I am continually amazed that you respond when we reach out to you -- when we turn to you. You are there waiting to take the heavy loads that we carry around with us because we're trying to prove to you or others -- or even ourselves -- how strong and capable we are. But we don't need to struggle in that way. Thank you for taking the loads. And please give me the humility to quickly let the loads go. I want to live a restful life -- refreshed by you. Amen.
