Howard Thurman on Rest for the Heavy Laden - Black Church (Matthew 11:28-30)
"Jesus speaks to the heavy laden—and who has been more burdened than Black folk in America? The burdens of racism, poverty, violence. But Jesus says: Come. Rest. Not escapism, but soul-rest that sustains the journey and strengthens for the struggle." — Howard Thurman. Black Church: rest that sustains struggle.
