Reflection

Matthew 11:28 is a loving invitation from Jesus to bring every burden, worry, and weariness to Him. He doesn’t ask us to carry life’s heavy loads on our own but promises true rest for our souls when we come to Him. In a world that constantly demands more of our time, energy, and attention, Jesus offers a peace that cannot be found anywhere else.
