DEVOTION

R U OK?

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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.” Matthew 11:28-30 

R U OK? Day is a reminder that in life we will experience difficulties and face challenges. It is important to check in with people around us and offer support where we can. Life can be overwhelming. It’s good to admit it. There is the stress of school, sports, relationships, parents, friends, people drama, expectations, and the list goes on. Life can be stressful. 

But there is a person that provides peace. Jesus invites us to come to Him. Are you tired? Do you have burdens? You’re the person He’s inviting to rest. Learn from Him. Give Him your burdens and let Him give you His ways. His burden is light. He’s looking to provide rest for your soul. Let Him lead you and steer you, even when it seems hard. His yoke is easy. He’s gentle and humble. You can trust the One who gave you breath to lead you into life.
