11.28-30 (gnb), come to ME, all of you
who are tired from carrying your heavy loads and I will give you rest. the yoke I will give you is easy and the load
I will put on you is light.
some of
you are carrying a yoke – a heavy burden – today, of the expectations that were
put on you by your parents. some of you
are carrying a burden that was put on you by your husband or your wife or your
children. some of you are burdened down
with a yoke put on you by your boss or by your teacher or by society. but most of us carry a yoke of burden that we’ve
put on ourselves because of unresolved guilt and unrealistic expectations. we’re trying to prove that we matter.

you
matter to GOD. you don’t have to do
anything to matter to GOD. we put all
these burdens on ourselves.
some might
ask, “so, what is GOD’s yoke?” HE says, “come
put on MY yoke. take off your heavy one and put on mine.” what is HIS yoke? well, it is HIS plan and purpose for your
life.
you
were made for a purpose. you were made
for a reason. GOD has a plan for you, a
track to move on. when you go down his
track it’s ok. when you make your own
track in life, you get in all kinds of problems. when you go with HIS purpose
for your life, things work out a little bit better – a lot better. when you go your own way in life, you hit one
brick wall after another. GOD says, “put
on MY purpose, MY plan for your life.”
just a
thought from the front porch…
