Come to Me...

~~~ Most Sacred Heart of Jesus ~~~

~~~ Deuteronomy 7:6-11 ~~~ Psalm 103 ~~~ 1 John 4:7-16 ~~~ 

~~~ Matthew 11:25-30 ~~~

...the LORD set his heart on you and chose you...
God wants to shower you with his blessings.
We have wedding showers to honor and give gifts to the engaged couple.
We have baby showers to give gifts to the unborn child.

...because the LORD loved you...
God loves us so much he wants to shower us with
a continual outpouring of blessings.
The Lord loves us so much that he gives us his heart
 and we take it for granted.
We might even expect him to love us no matter what we do.

God is love, and whoever remains in love
remains in God and God in him.
God does love us unconditionally,
but we must chose to remain in his love...
we must chose to remain in him.
God knows nothing else besides love, even when he is passing judgement.
He loves in mercy, he loves in justice, he loves in forgiveness,
he loves in joy peace and happiness.
There is no time when God is not loving you.

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest..."

God's loving heart invites us to come away with him.
His love can give us the rest our soul searches for.
We each have our burdens to bear and God knows this;
 he also knows that if we bring our burdens to him
he can make them seem lighter.
The perception of our burdens will make them weigh less.
If our burdens are less cumbersome we can get more rest.

Bless the LORD, O my soul; and forget not all his benefits.

Jesus is reaching out his hand to you.
Can you picture this image?
It is real. He does not want you to suffer, especially
if there is no need for it.

Jesus says...
Come to me...and I will give you rest.
Not someone else, but Jesus himself will give
you the rest you need.

The Lord set his heart on you
 and showers you with blessings of rest.

~~~Peace~~~
