Matthew 11-13
Jesus invites us... "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Why then are so many followers of Christ languishing under a burden of cares no man can carry? Could it be that although they come to Jesus, they just can't seem to trust him to properly carry their burdens, so they fail to let loose of their burdens.
Reminds me of the old story of a man walking down a country road with a heavy load upon his back. A local farmer in a horse drawn wagon comes upon him and offers a ride. The man accepts the ride, but keeps the load upon his back, whereon the farmer advises that he set his load down in the wagon. The man replies that he is quite thankful for the ride, but couldn't impose upon the farmer to carry the load too.
He is able and competent to carry our load... if we will let him, and then he will give us rest.
