Today we get to take one of these three readings and rewrite it to make it personal... as though God is speaking directly to us.
I choose Matt 11:28-30. "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
My version is "George, if you work hard at a job which sometimes is thankless and exhausting, join Me for rest and relaxation in God's presence. My work is easy and gratifying."
How does it feel to take the great words of scripture and personalize them?
It's another way to connect with God through His word. Try it!
