Bible Verse:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28 (NIV)

Devotional:
Carrying offense is like carrying a backpack full of heavy rocks. Each grudge, each slight, each indignation adds weight we were never meant to bear. Jesus offers us rest—a lightness of being that comes from laying those burdens down at His feet. Brant Hansen explains that when we choose to be unoffendable, we choose to live free.

What if today we dropped the heavy backpack? What if we refused to collect offenses like trophies? The path of Christ is one of freedom, not burden. We have the power to set down the weight of anger and offense, not because others deserve it, but because Jesus offers us a better way. Let’s trade our burden for His rest.
