This "Look to Christ" is featured in our episode: The Prosperity Gospel Test
There’s a quiet kind of exhaustion that settles into the soul. Not the weariness of a long week… But the heaviness of feeling like you have to make life work. That you have to be the strong one. The steady one. The one who gets it right.
Many Christians won’t say this out loud, but inside they live with a constant, low-grade fear: “What if I’m not good enough for God? What if I disappoint Him? What if I fall short again?”
And so they work. They try harder. They hide the parts of themselves that feel unworthy. They carry the pressure of holding together their faith, their family, their heart.
But friend, listen, Christ did not come to give you a heavier load to carry. He came because He knew you were already carrying one too heavy for you.
You don’t have to pretend with Him. He’s not waiting for you to level up spiritually. He’s not watching to see if you’ll finally get your act together. He moves toward you precisely where you feel the most fragile.
When Jesus says, “Come to me, and I will give you rest,” He’s not offering a break. He’s offering Himself.
He’s giving you a place where you don’t have to perform. Where you don’t have to protect an image. Where you don’t have to convince Him you’re worth loving.
You already are.
His heart toward you is steady. His mercy doesn’t fluctuate. His love doesn’t rise and fall with your best moments or your worst ones.
And when that truth begins to settle deep into your soul, when you truly believe that Jesus wants you, welcomes you, and holds you, something inside finally relaxes.
The fear loosens its grip. The pressure begins to fade. Your heart stops bracing for disappointment and starts resting in delight.
So if your heart is tired today… If you’re worn thin from trying to be enough… Look to Christ. Let Him be the rest your soul has been craving. Let Him be the One who carries what you can’t. Let His love quiet your fear.
You don’t have to hold your life together. He’s holding you.
And He won’t let go.
