JUST WORN OUT
 
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Matthew 11:28
 
Are you tired?  Have you lost your energy?  Has life drained you?  Would you like a long vacation on a faraway island?  We all have times when we have extended ourselves as far as we can go.  Our battery runs down and we don't feel like there is anything left.
 
When these times come, we need to admit what our bodies are telling us.  We need a "season of rest."  This doesn't mean we have to take a trip or go on vacation -- though that might help.  Instead we need to remove ourselves from the heavy demands that are pressing on us, at least for a little while.  Sometimes just a day off can make a big difference.  God gave Israel the Sabbath as a day of rest.  He knew that people will literally "work themselves to death."
 
But Jesus also says that he will be our source of rest and refreshment.  How?  Because he is greater than any burden or problem.  And our relationship with him can be wonderful.  Think about it.  Don't you feel better after time spent with a good friend?  Our time with Christ can be life-changing!
 
The greatest relief and renewal available to us is our faith.  If you are drained, spend a little more time with Jesus.
