Burden

My choice 

 

Mat. 11:29 “take My Yoke upon you and learn from Me,

for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls”

 

Rest in God, it sounds so well … gentle and lowly in heart.

Fulfillment of life for all to see to be understood when one departs.

 

Why can’t we see the beginning? It starts with take My Yoke.

That seems a burden we don’t want … we want rest and peace, you know.

 

Without your yoke there is no learning? It takes pain to understand?

But what about rest for my soul, Oh Lord! Is not that the Promised Land?

 

Ephesians 6:6

“as a bondsman in Christ doing the will of God from the heart”

 

Is the yoke the Will of God and the Holy Spirit His Presence in me?

Then the yoke is not burden at all for Christ strengthens the “Him” to be.
