More than ever these days I
Need soul rest.
And Jesus wants to give it to me.
He asks me to get teamed up with
Him so that He can do the pulling and
The leading, tasks that were never
Meant for me.
But in order to take on His yoke I
Must first remove my own, the one
That weighs me down with worry, and
Doubt and self centeredness.
Discarding my yoke for His is a
Wonderful welcome exchange.
Then, why is it so difficult?
"Then Jesus said, 'Come to me, all of
you who are weary and carry heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon
you. Let me teach you, because I am humble
and gentle, and you will find rest for your
souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the
burden I give you is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
