When I see the word weary, I think about the sleepless nights I had when my girls were little. There were some days, I could barely get through the day. The only saving grace I had was my mom. She was so wonderful to give me breaks and make sure I wasn't overwhelmed.
In Christ we have that same assurance. We come to Him, he will give us rest. When we are so burdened down by life, He will come in and give us rest. Do you know how hard it is to rest, especially when you have a giant list of things that have to get done? It's HARD! Did you know that God wants us to rest. He wants us to rest in Him and know that He is going to take care of things. Psalm 23 is another reminder to rest. He makes us lay in green pastures and restores us. Did you read that? he MAKES us lie down! I just think that's amazing. He knows what is best for us and takes care of us when we are weary.
