“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11:28-30 (ESV)
Our fears, doubts and anxieties can weigh heavily on our hearts, and keep us from the abundant lives God desires us to have. In this transformational promise, Jesus reminds us that when we place our faith in Him and release our burdens to His care, our souls can truly find peace.
Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
I love this verse. We can find rest and peace in His loving arms.
This has to be one of my favorite verses in the New Testament. Thank you for sharing Jesus’ gentle reminder that no burden is too heavy for Him to bear.
Blessings!
Love this verse but never really thought of it as transformational before and it most certainly is. Wow, thanks Phil
Praying that true peace for you today, Phil. 🙂
When we love Him and pursue radical obedience, His burden is light. We are then able to pick up our crosses: more of Him and less of me! Short and very very sweet!:)
I love this verse…it has been a comfort to me over the past several years since we left the states. I am so grateful that He gives us rest.
joy and blessings to you, Phil.

So thankful that His peace is available to us 24/7. Great verse!
This verse has been a blessing to me for many years now. It has been a mainstay.
