Sadness Grief and Discouragement

Selected Sub-Tab

Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Jesus issues a direct invitation to the weary and burdened, language that fits the heavy soul of depression. The promised rest is for the soul, not merely temporary relief. The yoke He offers is not another crushing demand but a shared, gentle one. Coming to Him is the first movement out of isolation into restorative relationship.
