So, you made it to Friday … after thinking it was Friday twice this week already.
You feel like you simply are doing your best to put one foot in front of the other, accomplishing each expectation upon you one slow step at a time.
You are living for the end to this day, this week … knowing within your soul that this is not satisfying, not life-giving … not what you were created for.
Bone tired … that is what you feel, what describes you best right now.
It is a weariness that zaps your energy, your joie de vivre (joy of living), drying up the body, mind and spirit.
Refreshment …
That is what you need. Like a cool lake on a sizzling hot day, a tall glass of water when utterly parched. You need to be refreshed, from the inside out.
come …
It is a beckoning, a pursuing, an invitation. A word that opens the door for one on the outside.
to me …
To Jesus, to God himself. He is the one giving the invitation. It is personal. Not an invitation delivered by another, but offered personally, physically.
all …
Not everyone except, not only a certain group, but all.
that labor and are heavy laden …
This covers the things that encompass our work (jobs, physical work) as well as the weight on our hearts and souls. Are you tired from your work and your heavy heart?
and I …
This is gonna be the promise, the commitment. And it comes from the Creator of heaven and Earth, and of us.
will give you rest.
This is the outcome of the promise. The result, the then of the if/then.
This is for you who are bone weary.
