The Gentle Mastery of Christ

Mt 11:28-30

[Jesus said to the crowds,] ²⁸“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. ³⁰For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

Reflection:

You will find rest. God has taken the initiative to seek us and has revealed himself to us. We have to open our eyes and our hearts to God who is always present to us, silently but surely working in us and for us. Whether we are up or down, successful or struggling, God is with us.

We do not have to wait for God; God always waits for us, making it easy for us to find him. We do not have to worry about adjusting to moods or about being rejected. God is ever ready to understand us.

By ourselves, we cannot cope with the worries, anxieties, and problems of life. But we can rely on God. We can present to God all our hurts, bruises, and burdens. We can look to him for solutions and strategies, comforts and consolation, peace and salvation.

In the midst of our hectic schedules, God invites us to have coffee break with him… Shall we accept his invitation?

I will turn to God for comfort and consolation.

I will give my burdens to God.
