"For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" Matthew 11:30
We all go through struggles in life. Life presents us all with ups and downs. Many have fell into the misconception that as a christian, we are not supposed to encounter problems and life is supposed to be in the land of utopia. Well contrary to popular belief, just because a person is saved doesn't mean they will live a trouble free life. But this blog is not about that. Or should I say it's not focused solely on the Christian. Various times in my ministry i've encountered people who are burdened or held down by life. In their eyes, life is hopeless or they feel like there is no hope. You can see the expressions on their faces and you can see it in their actions. Although life brings challenges, you don't have to live as if you are weighed down. In the scripture above, Jesus clearly states that HIS yoke is easy and HIS burden is light. What he is saying is to cast our cares upon HIM. Cast our burdens upon HIM. If we do these things, God will either fix, remove, or strengthen us to endure the situation. So for those who feel they are alone, with no hope, life has weighed you down, you carry a heavy burden, Jesus assures us that if we turn to HIM, things will get better. Jesus can not only save you, but strengthen you as well. Be Blessed!
