God’s Solution

In Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus says:

“Come to Me, all you who labour 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.”

The first thing that Jesus says to us is, “Come to Me…” We are allowed to come to God personally; there is nothing between Him and us.
Second, He is inviting us to come. God wants you, in fact, He wants you so much that Jesus died on the Cross just to prove it. Jesus didn’t have to come to this earth and die, but God’s love is so great, and He wanted us so much that He chose to come.
Let that sink in for a few minutes. Take a moment to consider that. You are loved.
Third, God lets us know who needs rest: it is those who labour and are burdened, but what does that mean? In this context, those who labour means those who are striving to do it all on their own and failing.
I know that in my life when I try to do everything with my own strength alone it does not turn out well. When you are heavy-laden it is like your spirit, mind, will, and emotions can’t function because there is this weight on you that you try to lift by yourself. It causes you to feel down, depressed, anxious, all those negative things that we do not want in life.
So what does God say when we are weary? He will give us rest, and the best thing is He even tells us how and that is by taking His yoke upon us and learning from Him. What is this yoke? Rest for your soul (your mind, will and emotions). So what does God give us rest from?

  1. Fear
    We do not need to be afraid of anything in this world because God is with us and supernaturally protects us.
  2. Hopelessness
    In Jeremiah 29:11 God says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” God has good plans for your life”
  3. Addictions
    God can take that addiction and crush it in your life if you let Him. For some people, it will be instant, and for others, it will be a process.

…What else do you need rest from? Jesus Christ is God’s Solution.

Hi, I’m Cornelius Bella. Welcome to My Corner of the Internet. I’m a Christian writer, blogger, and lifelong seeker of Biblical truth. At CorneliusBella.blog, I share reflections, revelations, and real-life stories shaped by faith, rooted in Scripture, and driven by a deep hunger for God’s presence. For me, spirituality isn’t a Sunday activity—it’s the heartbeat of everyday life. I believe God’s presence is not just a theological concept but a living, breathing reality we can experience moment by moment. One of my guiding prayers is this: “May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God’s presence—and not a moment without the entire surrender of myself to Him.” If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place. On my blog, I write about prayer, meditation, surrender, gratitude, and the kind of faith that transforms not just what we believe, but how we live. I explore how spiritual principles can help us navigate pain, find purpose, and live with deeper joy—even in the middle of life’s uncertainties. But more than that, I write to connect. To build a community of believers who are hungry for more of God. Who want to grow, not just in knowledge, but in intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Who are tired of surface-level religion and ready to live from the inside out. So whether you’re wrestling with big questions or just looking for encouragement to keep walking by faith—I’d love for you to join the journey. Subscribe, share your thoughts, and let’s grow together in grace, truth, and the joy of God’s presence. Let’s live fully surrendered. Let’s walk by faith. Let’s seek Him—daily.
