Come Unto Me

Scripture: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28

Devotional:
Jesus offers an open invitation to those who are weary and burdened. His rest is not merely physical relief but a deep, spiritual renewal that brings peace and hope. When we try to carry life’s burdens alone, we grow weary, but Jesus invites us to lay them at His feet.

This rest is rooted in trust. Coming to Jesus means surrendering our struggles and allowing Him to guide us. It is an act of faith to trust His timing, His provision, and His care.

Illustration:
A traveler carrying a heavy backpack finds relief when a kind stranger offers to carry it for them. Similarly, Jesus offers to bear our burdens if we will trust Him enough to let go.

Challenge:
Identify one burden you’ve been carrying this week, whether emotional, physical, or spiritual. Spend time in prayer, surrendering it to Jesus, and trust Him to give you His rest.
