When Your Soul is Weary

There are days when you feel like you’re juggling 20 balls at the same time. When you’re struggling with weighty decisions, only to be slammed by another one as soon as you feel like you can finally catch your breath. And when it seems that there’s always somebody eager to call you out if you don’t do what they want. Quite simply, your soul is weary, almost to the breaking point. That’s when you can take a deep breath and immerse yourself in Jesus’ words that he still speaks to you today, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” And as you do, remember this. These words are not merely aspirational. They’re reality.
