Come, All You Who Are Weary and Burdened
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
When I am exhausted, do I know how to admit it and where to ask for rest?
📝Reflection
This invitation asks no conditions. It does not ask how well you have done or whether you qualify — it opens the door on the single fact of being weary. While many teachers say to learn more, try harder, this one word says: rest first. What a weary person usually needs is not more instruction, but permission to set the burden down for a while.

If you are weary today, give yourself permission to set the burden down for a while, instead of pushing harder.
This verse is read as universal humanistic wisdom, not religion — no faith is promoted, and the reflection is 100% original ONGO content.
