Matthew 11:28-29



“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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.”

Come now! Come knowing the advantage of Me. Each of you individually who have grown weary, tired, exhausted with toil, or burdens, or grief. Every one of you who have had a burden placed on you—those burdens could be rites or unwarranted precepts, ceremony, or spiritual anxiety. I will cause or permit you to cease from any movement or labor in order to recover and collect your strength. I will give you rest, refreshment and keep you quiet and  calm. I will give you patient expectation. Raise up, elevate, and lift up My yoke (that coupling of servitude) in the right position on you. Learn of Me and from Me. Increase your knowledge of Me, hear Me, and be informed. Learn by use and repetition. I am gentle, meek, mild, and humble. I am lowly in spirit, humble in the very center of spiritual life. When you are yoked to Me, you will find an intermission and cessation of any motion or labor for the very seat of your soul—your mind, will, and emotions. Your psyche, breath of life, desires and affections will be refreshed. You will recover and collect your strength. My yoke will fit you—it will be mild and pleasant. My burden or load is easy and light in weight. Come now!
