You Don't Have to Be Weighed Down

I love the picture attached on this devotional. It depicts the joy found when we “give it all” to Jesus.

Back in the Old Testament days, life was hard. Rules were hard. Being “yoked” to the law was hard. The weight of being “good enough” was burdensome. Jesus came to change all that. He wants your burdens to be easy. He wants your life to be a good life.

How can a burden be easy? Burdens are easy BECAUSE we are yoked (connected) to Jesus. When we are connected to Him, He gives us rest.

When we learn His way of doing things opposed to the world’s way…life is better. We can have the abandonment of the little girl in the picture. We can find our rest in Him. We learn that He is gentle at heart. Don’t be weighed down, give it all to Jesus. Get connected to Him.

Matthew 11:28-30 NLT

[28] Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light." #helpforyourdailywalk #paulaandthebible
