Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:29 

We are often weary in our journeys in life. We have been wearied by the challenges of life, by hard decisions, difficulties at home or at work, disagreements, divisions and separations, and also by death. Who will help us in this time of weariness? Jesus says, “Come to me, all you that are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). 

When we are owned by Jesus, we are yoked with him. We are joined together with him to rest in his promise, and we are also joined with him to trust that the path forward for us is for good. We become people who begin to open our eyes to a world that has been burdened, hurt and beaten down—a world that is weary, much like we are. It is not a world to be shunned or avoided, but to be loved with Jesus’ gentleness and humility of heart. We trust that our crucified and risen Lord is with us in our yoked bodies for this challenge of love and life.
