“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, The Voice).

That’s the promise.

To all who are weary and heavy-laden, as the old King James puts it, to all who work to the point of exhaustion, as another translation puts it, there’s rest.

All you have to do is come to Jesus.

You don’t have to figure your life out or get your mess cleaned up.

You don’t have to have your five-year life plan perfectly mapped out or all your goals and resolutions lined up for the new year.

You don’t have to have perfect theology or doctrines.

You don’t have to be perfect.

All you have to do is come to Jesus, and you will find rest.
