Today’s Scripture Passage:
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT)
I’ve read these verses so many times over the years, but there were four little words Jesus spoke deeper into my heart this week. Read what He said.
“Let Me teach you.”
Jesus – Matthew 11:29 (NLT)
Doesn’t that tug at your heart? I don’t know why I never noticed it before, but I felt like I could actually hear Him imploring me to LET HIM TEACH ME.
I’ve spent some time confessing those times I’ve purposely resisted learning from Him – lessons I knew would require a change I didn’t want to make, so I skipped them. Yes, I know how awful that sounds (I almost deleted it).
I truly believe Jesus has only my best interest at heart, so…
I’ve asked Him to make me willing to learn what He wants to teach me.
LORD, we’re so thankful to be citizens of Your Kingdom. We’re thank You for the privilege of being your representative in the foreign land we live in now. Help us to grow in our relationship with You, so we will represent You well. Give us compassion and courage and teach us to love those around us as You love them. We want to love as citizens of Heavens and not citizens of this world!
If you have not yet met Jesus, you can meet Him today. He created you. He loves you. He wants you to be a part of His family. I encourage you to step into the life He created you to live. You will still have the troubles of this world, but you will no longer be facing them alone. I’m praying for you! https://peacewithgod.net/mobile/?utm_source=Microsoft&utm_medium=CPC&utm_term=HowToGoToHeaven&utm_campaign=USPWGMobileSearchMic
