My devotion this morning was like receiving a second wind of life. The scripture was Matthew 11:28 and the study expressed how Jesus frees us from so many different burdens. The rest that Jesus offers is love, peace, comfort, healing, etc... He sustains us. He gets us out of our "condition of listlessness and exhaustion and being half dead while we are alive." He gives us the "spirit of life and vital activity." I imagined God saying, "Come to me, LaVender and I will give you rest. Come to me and I will renew your strength, energy, and power. Come to me and I will empower you to live your life more abundantly." The Word of God is definitely food for the soul. Have you come to Jesus?
