God is waiting on you

I’m pretty sure this is a hard way to live and I know it’s not the way God wants us to live. Jesus told us in Matthew 11:28 that if we are tired and worn out, even burned out on religion, that we can come to Him and rest, get away and recover. In other words there is a better way to live, an easier way that is pleasant and even vacation-like.
