We hope you have a great Labor Day! Labor Day gives us an opportunity to step away from our work, slow down, and enjoy some much-needed rest.

But there is a kind of weariness that a day off can’t fix. We can rest our bodies and still carry weary souls that are burdened by worry, guilt, disappointment, uncertainty, or simply the weight of life.

The invitation of Jesus is worth considering today. “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest ... and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28–29)

On this Labor Day, enjoy the opportunity to rest from your work. But even more importantly, remember that true rest for the soul is found in Jesus. Bring your burdens to him. Trust him. Walk with him.
--
Your body needs rest. Your soul does too.
