Tuesday's thoughts

Tuesday I spent an hour and a half on the screened porch. Macy sat on my lap and I listened to music, watched the scenery and meditated. I thought of those wonderful verses in Matthew that  have been with me since I became a Christian over 30 years ago. These verses still lift my heart today.

 

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So many years ago I learned it was a person that you come to for relief from a burdened soul. Not a creed, a religion or an organization but a living person, Jesus, the mediator between man and God. I found that soul rest he mentions and found his meek and lowly spirit were beautiful and are challenged to live up to.

In the intervening years I have learned his yoke is truly easy and his burden is light. I have been  through many things and have always had Jesus by my side. As I've lost my health I find this is just another aspect of his yoke and has led me to cling and trust him more.
