“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28 (HCSB)

I just love getting invitations in the mail!  I am thrilled by the words, “Please come.”  Doesn’t matter if it’s an invitation to a wedding, shower, birthday party or some other occasion…it is always a privilege to be invited to celebrate milestones with friends and family.  Even the invitation to join friends for casual fellowship is cause for celebration. The time we invest in relationships with others, is a blessing to us and to them.  And, usually there are some yummy refreshments involved too!

Each and every morning, we awaken to an invitation from Jesus.  “Please come.”  He invites us to spend time with Him so that we can get to know Him better, celebrate milestones in our relationship with Him, and so that He can provide spiritual refreshment for our weary souls.

What invitation could possibly be better than that?  We have all had to turn down invitations that we truly wanted to accept.  Jesus understands the demands on our time… and, He loves us even when we don’t accept His gracious invitation.  But, we miss out on so much when we don’t spend time with Him…especially when we are weary and burdened.  I love that when I accept His invitation, He always shows up with nourishment for my weary soul.

“Jesus, thank You for inviting me to spend time with You every day.  Help me to make this a priority occasion on my calendar. Thank You for the nourishment that You provide as I read Your Word and fellowship with You.”

For His Glory,
