“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

A restless soul will never be satisfied with wealth and success. The recently deceased popular singer could confirm this truth. His records have been in the top 10 country music albums nearly forty times, and no less number of singles have reached the top of the charts. But he also had several marriages and was in prison. However, having such achievements, he once complained: “There is a restlessness in my soul that I could not overcome either with creativity, marriages, or popularity… I still feel it now. It will probably be with me until my death.” Unfortunately, he is no longer among us, but peace could be found!

The Lord Jesus calls all those tormented by sin and its consequences to turn to Him. “Come to Me,” He says. When we accept His salvation, He removes the burden of sin from us and gives us peace (Matthew 11:28). The only condition is to believe in Him and learn from Him “life with excess” (Jn. 10:10). Having accepted the “yoke” of discipleship in Christ, you will “find rest for your souls” (Mt. 11:29).

When we come to Christ, He removes our guilt before God and gives peace to our troubled hearts, revealing a new and less burdensome way of life in Him. He gives us real peace.

What do you feel tired and burdened? To what can you compare the peace that Jesus offers?

Lord Jesus, help my soul to find peace and tranquility in You.
