Are you ready to let your burdens go? Do you have a faith that rests?

We may desire to do God’s will and bring Him glory, but all of our effort and struggling can bring disappointment and even a sense of hopelessness over time. 

Andrew Murray, the nineteenth century writer and pastor, writes that God is the only source of power. He is the Almighty and He works all. He writes, “Entering the rest of God is the ceasing from self-effort, and the yielding up oneself in the full surrender of faith to God’s working.”

Jesus wants to bring us into union with Himself into the place of rest and love. Isn’t this reassuring?

Have you been able to give your problems, pressures and difficulties to Him? Will you allow Him to do the work to bring you into His rest?
