Matthew 11:28-30 ESV
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
These verses encourage us to come to Jesus and experience the transformative power of a relationship with Him. The daily demands & struggles of our lives can be quieted by a profound peace that can only come from bringing our burdens to Christ & resting under His authority.
