Adversity, suffering, and hardship are all part of the human experience here on earth. That’s because we are a broken people, living in a very broken world. But when Jesus extends His hand and whispers, “Come to Me.” it’s up to us to make the decision to either act or ignore His invitation. If we decide to try and do it on our own without His help, we open ourselves up to anxiety, depression, and hopelessness…for we are not meant to bear the crushing burden alone. But when we respond to Jesus’ encouraging, “Come to Me.”, He will give us rest, and sustain us in peace and quietness. (Exodus 33:14)
