        "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
                                                     Matthew 11:28

There is nothing you could do or say that would ever make Jesus turn His back on you. He loves you and forgives you and hears your cries. We are all human beings and we are all fallible  The Lord is so pleased when we strive for excellence but He does not expect us to be perfect. Stop putting such high expectations on yourself. If the Lord does not expect that than who are you doing it for? Be the best child of God you can be.The way to do that is to not undermine sin for there is no such thing as a small sin. Sin is sin in God's eyes. So r
epent when you sin. Forgive yourself as God does. Then learn to allow yourself to rest in Him. We are so tired because we are on a constant pin wheel of life's stresses of finances, romances, relationships, children, careers etc....that we never stop to rest in the Lord. He will work when you rest. He will work all things together for our good when we love Him. I take my role very seriously as the steward of our money. I know what is needed and I pray that the Lord guide me through each month of what to pay and when. If something suddenly comes up, I know He will provide. I allow Him to lead and I follow. I no longer take the control. I now pray about everything and I ask Him to show me and He does. And He will do that for you too. When I am overwhelmed or feel life's pressures, I give them to Him and then I rest in knowing He is in control. And that is what we all really need to do-is relinquish control. So  today whatever you are facing, whatever you are trying to work out on your own, let God in. He calls us to come to Him when we are burdened. Don't go another minute feeling like you are all alone in this situation. He wants you to know you aren't. He is with you. Rest in Him today and trust He will do what He says He will do. Forgive yourself and love yourself as He does. You are worthy of His love and you deserve all His riches and glory. Accept them today.
