My heart and prayers go out today for those tired, homeless and huddled masses of men, women and children who have arrived at the city of Del Rio, TX and are camped under a bridge, waiting to be processed. Because they, like so many other immigrants, are yearning to be free. Yearning to breathe free. In the land of the brave and the free. And now that they are here, it is my hope our nation is willing to lift our lamp to these immigrants, as it has for so many others, as they seek to enter the golden door, and find rest for their weariness.
Are you also in need of rest today from a heavy burden you are carrying? Rest from the weight of sin or some other heavy load that has gotten too much for you to bear? Then look to the one who promises to give you the rest you need - Jesus Christ, the light of the world!
Sharing the Word,
Jeaninne
Prayer: Father, thank you for the special rest that only you can provide for my weary soul. Amen.
