I once heard a story about a pastor who was the guest minister at a church. As he stood at the entrance to the church with one of the elders, he noticed a beat-up car park and a frazzled lady got out. The guest minister could tell by the look on her face that she was having a difficult day and possibly a difficult life. She was a mess.As she approached the front door, the elder said, “Miss, we dress up for God here.” The woman looked at him, burst into tears, got in her car and drove off. The guest pastor stood there with his jaw on the ground, asking himself if that really just happened.For whatever reason, this church member missed the words of Jesus when he said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest,” in Matthew 11:28.
