    “You Will Find Rest”

    Tenderly He urged the toiling people, “‘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.’” Matthew 11:29.MHH 33.1

    In these words, Christ was speaking to every human being. Whether they know it or not, all are weary and heavy-laden. All are weighed down with burdens that only Christ can remove. The heaviest burden that we bear is the burden of sin. If we were left to bear this burden, it would crush us. But the Sinless One has taken our place. “The Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:6.MHH 33.2

    He has borne the burden of our guilt. He will take the load from our weary shoulders. He will give us rest. The burden of care and sorrow also He will bear. He invites us to cast all our care upon Him, for He carries us upon His heart.MHH 33.3

    The Elder Brother of our race is by the eternal throne. He sees every soul who is looking toward Him as the Savior. He knows by experience what are the weaknesses of humanity, what are our wants, and where lies the strength of our temptations, for He was “in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:15. He is watching over you, trembling child of God. Are you tempted? He will deliver. Are you weak? He will strengthen. Are you ignorant? He will enlighten. Are you wounded? He will heal. The Lord “counts the number of the stars,” and yet “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:4, 3.MHH 33.4

    Whatever your anxieties and trials, lay your case before the Lord. Your spirit will be braced for endurance. The way will be open for you to disentangle yourself from embarrassment and difficulty. The weaker and more helpless you know yourself to be, the stronger will you become in His strength. The heavier your burdens, the more blessed the rest in casting them upon your Burden Bearer.MHH 33.5

    Circumstances may separate friends; the restless waters of the wide sea may roll between us and them. But no circumstances, no distance, can separate us from the Savior. Wherever we may be, He is at our right hand to support, maintain, uphold, and cheer. Christ’s love for His redeemed is greater than the love of a mother for her child. It is our privilege to rest in His love, to say, “I will trust Him, for He gave His life for me.”MHH 33.6

    Human love may change, but Christ’s love never changes. When we cry to Him for help, His hand is stretched out to save.MHH 33.7

    “‘The mountains shall depart
    And the hills be removed,
    But My kindness shall not depart from you,
    Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,’
    Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.”
    Isaiah 54:10.*2—M.H.
    MHH 33.8
