We should come to Jesus, recognizing that he is the only solution for our sin; lay our hearts open to others; Yolk our lives to Jesus; and practice allowing his gentleness and love to flow through us by laying down our rights, rank, and privileges.Matthew 11:25-30English Standard Version Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest25 (A)At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, (B)Lord of heaven and earth, that (C)you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and (D)revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your (E)gracious will.[a] 27 (F)All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son (G)except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone (H)to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 (I)Come to (J)me, all who labor and are (
