  1. Jesus said: "Come to me, all you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:26 Max Lucado said: 'As long as Jesus is one of many options, he is no option. As long as you can carry your burdens alone, you don't need a burden bearer. As long as your situation brings you no grief, you will receive no comfort. As long as you can take him or leave him, you might as well leave him, because he won't be taken half-heartedly. But when you mourn, when you get to the point of sorrow for your sins, when you admit that you have no other option but to cast all your cares on him, and when there is truly no other name that you can call, then cast all your cares on him, for he is waiting in the midst of the storm.' From his book THE APPLAUSE OF HEAVEN
