Armor of God to Faith.
EPHESIANS 6.10-24
Otherwise, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may stand against the wiles of the devil.
Because we don't have to fight against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against princes of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness, in heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may resist in the evil day, and, having done all, stand firm.
Stand therefore, having girded about your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness;
And shod your feet in the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the evil one.
Take also the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
Praying at all times with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching in it with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
And for me; that the word may be given to me, in the opening of my mouth, with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Which is why I'm ambassador to chains; so that I can speak freely about him, as it suits me to speak.
Now that you also may know of my affairs, and what I do, Tychicus, beloved brother, and faithful minister of the Lord, will inform you all.
Whom I sent you for the same end, that you may know of our state, and he comforts your hearts.
Peace be with the brothers, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace be with all who love
Ephesians 6:10-24

Come to me !
What does it mean "come to me all who are weary?"
Jesus invites all who are weary and overburdened to find rest in him. Only when we go to Jesus do we find real rest. Jesus offers us peace (Matthew 11:28).
Come to me
We can look for peace and rest in many places: in money, in fame, in friends, in mysticism, in philosophy, in education... But none of this gives us the perfect rest. Only Jesus has what we need.
Jesus never fails. All other things pass but Jesus is eternal. He is the only one who can fill the void in our hearts. Jesus is the only way to God (John 14:6).

A sweet smell of christ
But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

So stop looking on earth for what you will find only in Jesus!
One of the most emblematic miracles recorded in the Bible is the one in which Jesus walks on water and then calls Peter to come to Him.
Walking on water, Jesus very clearly revealed His Divine nature and His will regarding what we should do in the face of the storms of life.

Because God loved!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
