In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at how the Gospel sets moms free from the burden of not being good enough. In Matthew 11:25-30, Jesus invites the those who are weak and helpless to come to Him in order to find rest for their souls. We were reminded that we don’t become close to God by impressing Him with how many tasks we complete, how smart we are, or how amazing our Pinterest-perfect our lives are. In His great love, God chooses to reveal Himself to us despite our inability to be "good enough". When you are feeling inadequate and like a failure as a mom, Jesus says, “Come to me and I will give you rest.” We find rest for our souls when we encounter Jesus at the cross. This is where Jesus meets us in our inadequacy and trades our not good enough for His more than good enough.
