“Come, Bring Your Burdens to God”
Jul 9, 2023 • Rev. Katherine B. Harrington
A few weeks ago I attended Montreat’s Worship & Music conference. We began by singing “Come, Bring Your Burdens to God'' and as these words echoed through the auditorium, they spoke to my soul. Who is feeling tired--truly weary, right now? In Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30, Jesus issues an invitation we often find challenging—bring your troubles and worries to him and he will ease your stress. What burdens are you carrying? What are you willing to give up to God so you may find the promised relief? And what yoke is Jesus calling us all to take on so that we may learn from him?
