Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest

 Come to Him:

Matthew 11:28

28 “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.

 

John 6:35

35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.

 

            “The world didn’t give it and the world can’t take it away.” Those are the words from a song. The world doesn’t give anything to anyone. It may let you have a taste of something, but it will never satisfy you. The rest that the world talks about is only physical and/or mental. The rest Jesus is talking about is much more than that. It’s spiritual along with mental and physical. With the world, there is always something out there ready to pounce. With God, there is total peace. With the world, it’s rest as long as everything is going my way. With God, it’s rest despite what’s coming my way.

            Our only hunger is for righteousness, never for the physical. We thirst only to know Him better; not for water. His food and His drink satisfy forever.

 

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "There is much concern today about what should you eat and what should you drink. There is much concern for the safety of all that goes within you. There is no fear in what I give to you. There is no concern for the safety of all that is Mine. You shall have food more than enough to sustain you in My realm. You shall have more than enough to drink with Me. What I give to you shall never run dry and shall never lose its taste. What I give you is what will draw all men unto Me. It is the Life within the Bread that draws all men and it is the Life within the Water that will sustain all men. This is that which I give to you to share with all men.”

 

            42. I come to Him and find everything I need to satisfy my innermost needs … rest; bread of life; a river flowing out of my innermost being.
