Think Victory! His Yoke is Easy

His Yoke is Easy
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." ~~Matthew 11:28-30~~NKJV

In Christ alone we can, will and do find rest; we will obtain peace and comfort for our heart and soul. Jesus tells us that His yoke is easy. HIS YOKE IS EASY! What an amazing thought. As one who counsels many hurting people, I can say (with confidence) that many labor under heavy burdens; they carry yokes that are not easy or light. Are you such a one? Is your soul bent from the effects of an unlovely yoke?

Come to Him, whose yoke is easy and receive rest as His gift. Lay aside any other yoke whether devised by man or the evil one. Lay it aside; cast it off and receive His. Take His yoke. Submit to His authority. His yoke is easy and His burden is light and there is much freedom to be found in it.

Learn of Him. Add more and more and more to what you think you know about Him and find comfort in obedience to His Will and His Word and His Way. No matter how imperfect you are; no matter whose box or mold you don't fit in; no matter how flawed, invaluable or messed up you think you are COME TO HIM! His yoke is easy.

"It is a yoke that is lined with love. So powerful are the assistances He gives us, so suitable the encouragements, and so strong the consolations to be found in the way of duty, that we may truly say, it is a yoke of pleasantness. The way of duty is the way of rest. The truths Christ teaches are such as we may venture our souls upon. Such is the Redeemer's mercy; and why should the laboring and burdened sinner seek for rest from any other quarter? Let us come to him daily, for deliverance from wrath" (1) Sistas, I'm right there with you. Let us go together and find rest in the safe and gentle hands of our Redeemer.
