“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28, KJV)
Strange as it seems, some people (no matter how tired, weary, harried, or over-committed) will just not take a break.

Such folks rise early; retire late; work every weekend; and lose vacation time routinely.  For such persons, work is not a means — but an end; a tyrannical. . . dead. . . end.  To such persons, Jesus offers a simple, effective, alternative: “Come unto me. . . and I will give you rest.”

Come to Him through worship.  Come to Him through prayer.  Come to Him through the fellowship of His people.  Come to Him through communion with the Holy Spirit.  Come to Him through your meditation on the scriptures — and He will give you rest.  – Luther
