“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 NIV

Hi, everybody. Happy Friday. You know, going into this weekend, I’m thinking a lot about peace. I’m thinking about needing peace after a kind of a crazy, hectic, busy week, and maybe that’s been the week that you’ve had as well. You know, one of the places where I get rejuvenated is in relationship, and I have those people in my life, those special people, who I’m able to spend time with that just rejuvenate me and bring life to me, and really, as I sit in their presence, I just have a sense of calm and peace. And there’s no greater relationship that I’ve ever experienced that peace than with my Savior, Jesus. And I want you to think about your relationship with Jesus as you go into this weekend, and would you be encouraged to spend a few moments just sitting together with Him quietly and being in His presence and listening to Him in His Word?

Listen to Him as He says these words to you. He says, “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. For I am gentle and humble in heart. And you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NIV)

You know, as you go into this weekend, find just a quiet moment, just to sit quietly and to be with Jesus. He loves you so much and He cares for you. And Jesus is a person of peace. That love, that protection, that sacrifice that He gave for you is an opportunity for you to experience a burden that is truly light, and an experience of His peace.

I pray that you have that peace this weekend. God’s blessings to you.
