Serenity!

For Friday, March 18, 2022

Matthew 11:28 CJB, Jesus speaking: “Come to me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Life can be hard. The KJV calls it, “labor and heavy laden.” The Book of Common Prayer calls it, “travail,” which means working to the point of pain, arduous toil, agony. None of us can live like that for very long.

Jesus offers a simple solution: “Come to me. I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls.” You will find hope! You will find peace!

When life’s out of control, the “Jesus” solution sounds really, really good! We should all give it a try! We should trust in the Lord, because life will go better that way.

Get out of the rat race, and accept Jesus’ offer of serenity!
