Don’t go away! | 3

“. . . all you who are weary and burdened . . . ” Matthew 11.28

Part of the reason why it is difficult for us to admit our need is that it can be seen as a sign of weakness. If we are spiritual and God is really with us, then surely we feel we should never be sick or lack anything. Certainly we like to come across that way.

However, Jesus never condemned those who had needs. He had profound compassion for every person and it was those people who admitted their needs to him who often had the most stunning experiences of his love and grace.

If you sense that you are in need, the wonderful news is that Jesus says, “Come” and not, “Go away.” We can be so quick to tell ourselves that he is not interested in us or that there are others whose needs are much greater than ours, but Jesus says to everyone who sees themselves as laden or burdened, “Come.”

Take a moment to assure yourself of the truth that God loves you so much he gave Jesus for you, then spend a few minutes in his presence and share your needs with him. He cares about you and you matter to him.
