When you are exhausted– to worn-out, depleted–that is hit so hard, it seriously weakens or debilitates, discourages, deeply fatigues you making extreme weary...
Jesus says to you in Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
He Goes on to instruct you to: Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)
The Father wants you His child to call to Him with the burdens of your heart. Cry out to God in faith! You can be assured that He is listening, and that even when we can’t think of what to say, His Holy Spirit intercedes on our behalf (Rom. 8:26).
Come Rest in Christ
Jesus tells you: Come unto me,.... The Lord Christ is signifying that not only the knowledge of God, and the mysteries of grace come through Him; but also ALL THINGS relating to the peace, comfort, happiness, and salvation is in his hands, who kindly invites and encourages you to come to Him to take your burdens. Those things – that overloads you, and calls you to literally feel weighted down. He tells you to transfer to him and receive All the Benefits given by God through Him. (Psalms 103:1-2) which you are encouraged to do,
by His kind invitation; which shows His willingness to save, and His readiness to give relief to your distressed mind.
Remember His His Benefits:
“Bless affectionately, gratefully praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not one of all His benefits– Who forgives every one of all your sins snd iniquities, Who heals each one of all your diseases, Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy; Who satisfies your mouth, your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation pwith good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle's strong, overcoming, soaring! (Isa 40:31, Psalm 103:2-5)
Yes, He invites you who are weary and overburdened by life events or with the guilt of sin upon your consciences, and are pressed down with the unsupportable yoke of the law, and the load of human traditions; laboring to weariness, in an attempt to obtain peace of conscience, and rest for your soul.
You who are weary He encourages to come to him, lay down your burdens at his feet, look to, and lay hold by faith on His person, blood, righteousness, and sacrifice, to enjoy that true spiritual consolation, obtained by trusting in Him. Which could never be attained to by the works of the law. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
The Lord Himself is your Peace. (Ephesians 2:13). He gives you rest; that inner rest tranquility. The very Peace of God, the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that Peace which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
Spiritual Rest, Peace of Conscience, Ease of Mind, Tranquillity of Soul, through God’s application of His Pardoning Grace, being fully justified by the Blood of Jesus, making a full atonement of sin by his sacrifice on the cross; (Colossians 1:13, 20-22);
For your sake The Father made Christ virtually to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of the righteousness of God, what you ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His Goodness. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? (Matthew 6:31)
Cast ALL of your care, all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.(Ps. 55:22, 1 Peter 5:7)
