Yes.

"Come unto Me." - Matthew 11:28

If I will come to Jesus my actual life will be brought into accordance with my real desires; I will actually cease from sin, and actually find the song of the Lord begin.  The attitude of coming is that the will resolutely lets go of everything and deliberately commits all to Him.

"..And I will give you rest"

 Not - I will put you to bed and hold your hand and sing you to sleep; but -- I will get you out of bed, out of the languor and exhaustion, out of the state of being half dead while you are alive; I will imbue you with the Spirit of Life and you will be stayed by the perfection of vital activity.

We get pathetic and talk about "suffering the will of the Lord!" -- Where is the majestic vitality and might of the Son of God about that?
