Matthew 11:28-30

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

When I read this scripture I had so many feelings come over me. I reflected on the times in my life when I needed Christ's help. I wanted to give him my burden's so I could quit worrying about them. Then because I was weak or lacked faith I would turn around and take them back. I loved Elder Hollands talk he says thing's way better than I can.

"I don't know what things may be troubling you personally, but, even knowing how terrific you are and how faithfully you are living, I would be surprised if someone somewhere weren't troubled by a transgression or the temptation of transgression. To you, wherever you may be, I say, Come unto him and lay down your burden. Let him lift the load. Let him give peace to your soul. Nothing in this world is more burdensome than sin--It is the heaviest cross men and women ever bear."

"No matter how serious the trial, how deep the distress, how great the affliction,God will never desert us. He never has,and He never will. He cannot do it.It is not His character to do so. He is an unchangeable being; the same yesterday,today and will be the same throughout the eternal ages to come. " We shall emerge from all these trial and difficulties the better and purer for them, if we only trust in our God and keep his commandments".

I know Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. He wishes us to come unto him, to follow him, to be comforted by him. Only through Christ will we truly find rest.
