Come to the place. The invitation reads, “Come weary, bring your burdens.” We qualify! This is the place we were made to go and this is how we come. The only place we will ever find the acceptance and peace we long for is found here, Jesus. Come now, no need to wait!

DIGGING DEEPER:
I am captured by the invitations from Jesus to COME. The qualifications are never burdensome. Every one hits the heart and comes with honest questions. These questions are easy to answer, aren’t they? ~ Are you weary? Are you heavy laden? (Matthew 11:28-29) We cannot lie, we are. Jesus desires us to come unpack our burdens and to leave them at His feet. Can I be honest? I sometimes qualify several times a day. Jesus’ offer always stands.
The visits to the feet of Jesus aren’t limited to a certain number per day.
Picture your burdens with me in a pack on your back. Feel the weight they bring; big and small, old and new. All are accepted. Now unzip your pack and lay each one down and lean in to hear His assuring words with me.
“Come to me,
all you who are weary and burdened.
(come over & over, I rejoice that you are here)
I will give you rest.
Come, I will refresh your life.
(Matthew 11:28-29)
Amen & Alleluia.
