Christ-Awareness
. . . and I will
give you rest —Matthew 11:28
Matthew 11:25-30 Nasb
Come to Me
25 At that [y]time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have
revealed them to infants. 26 Yes, Father, for this way was
well-pleasing in Your sight. 27 All things
have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the
Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom
the Son wills to reveal Him.
28 “Come to Me, all [z]who are weary and heavy-laden, and I
will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and
humble in heart, and you will find rest for
your souls. 30 For My yoke is [aa]easy and My burden is light.”
Whenever anything
begins to disintegrate your life with Jesus Christ, turn to Him at once, asking
Him to re-establish your rest. Never allow anything to remain in your life that
is causing the unrest. Think of every detail of your life that is causing the disintegration
as something to fight against, not as something you should allow to remain. Ask
the Lord to put awareness of Himself in you, and your self-awareness will
disappear. Then He will be your all in all. Beware of allowing your
self-awareness to continue, because slowly but surely it will awaken self-pity,
and self-pity is satanic. Don’t allow yourself to say, “Well, they have just
misunderstood me, and this is something over which they should be apologizing
to me; I’m sure I must have this cleared up with them already.” Learn to leave
others alone regarding this. Simply ask the Lord to give you Christ-awareness,
and He will steady you until your completeness in Him is absolute.
