"Come to Me...and I will give you rest....Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me...and you will find rest for your souls." (From Matthew 11:28 & 29)
If the evening news would only open with this invitation of Jesus---------
People who like "how to" seminars will be disappointed with the Bible. So many of the promises of the Blessed Trinity do not follow with, "Now here is how you do this." Jesus' invitation, "Come to Me...and you will find rest for your souls," is such an example.
While some are "how to" people, I encourage you to be a "receive" person. As the Carol declares, "Where meek souls will receive Him, still the Dear Christ enters in." In a tumultuous, anxious, unpredictable world, all can, "....find rest for your souls", in Jesus Christ.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I may not be able to describe "how to," but I respond to, "Come to Me...." Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
