Weary, Come and Rest
Posted by TulipGirl | Under Christianity and the Church, Theology for Girls Saturday Apr 18, 2009“To every toiling, heavy-laden sinner, Jesus says, ‘Come to me and rest’. But there are many toiling, heavy-laden believers, too. For them this same invitation is meant.
Note well the words of Jesus, if you are heavy-laden with your service, and do not mistake it. It is not, ‘Go, labor on,’ as perhaps you imagine. On the contrary, it is stop, turn back, ‘Come to me and rest.’
Never, never did Christ send a heavy laden one to work; never, never did He send a hungry one, a weary one, a sick or sorrowing one, away on any service. For such the Bible only says, ‘Come, come, come.’”
Thank you for this. I am requiring a low-key summer of myself for health reasons and needed the encouragement to just rest, and not feel guilty about it.
I would love to send you a picture of Ross and I; please send me a email address.

You make a very good and original point.
