Burdens Made Light

Greetings to all. On this grateful Thursday, may any burden you may be carrying be lifted.

Even when life is good, our burdens can feel heavy. The Lord cares for us and promises help and rest when we are overwhelmed. Trusting God with life’s burdens and accepting Christ’s offer to carry our burdens may be difficult for some.

Matthew 11:28–30 (GW)

28“Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.

29Place my yoke over your shoulders, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for yourselves

30because my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” 

Lesson: We all struggle with heavy burdens. Whatever we struggle with may feel heavy, but it is light compared to God's strength. If we let go and let God, the Lord will help us.
