Come to Me, all you
who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to
rest. I will ease and relieve and
refresh your souls. Matthew 11:28
Many people today are stressed out far beyond anything a
human being was ever meant to endure.
Chalk it up to both husbands and wives working more to ‘keep up with the
Jones’ in addition to balancing their home lives, but many people, us included,
are some stressed-out individuals.
We are all created different, uniquely created by God’s
design. What is difficult for me may be
simple for someone else, and vice versa.
Unfortunately, if you are like me, it’s hard to resist comparing and
contrasting ourselves with other people.
Jesus was not stressed out.
Then again, He was not controlled by His circumstances or the demands of
other people, either. In John 14:6, Jesus simply states, “I am the Way.” And you know what? He’s right-His way is the
way to peace, joy, and righteousness.
The next time you feel like you are under immense pressure,
ask yourself how would Jesus have you handle things? Allow Him to fill your soul and learn to take
His approach to life and it’s never-ending challenges!
