Come Unto Me All Ye That Are Heavy Laden

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30

Who are the laborers that are heavy laden? I believe they are those that try hard to do good and are tired. Sometimes in that tired state we become misdirected or slightly off course. We no longer find joy in "the work". As we turn to the Lord for relief He welcomes us in. At this point I notice that the Lord doesn't say "Just take a break". But he says, "Keep working, but change your focus to Me, and the work will seem light". The Lord then describes Himself to us stating that He is meek and lowly in heart. Why is it important to know that the Lord is meek and lowly in heart? I believe He is asking for a change in our selves. He wants us to be more like Him. Being meek or humble and lowly in heart to me means having a soft heart towards others.
