We were driving down the highway headed to dinner the other night and this is what we saw. (it's not the best picture but it definitely captured a funny moment). It reminds me of all those times I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take two trips to bring my groceries in.
It also reminds me that when I am frustrated over circumstances beyond my control and my problems seem unbearably heavy and weighing me down...Jesus. Or, in those moments when I feel alone in the struggle...Jesus. In the middle of conflict...Jesus. When I am absolutely, undeniably afraid...Jesus. If healing for a relationship is needed...Jesus. If it is time to make a hard decision...Jesus. In times when I just need to let go...Jesus. For peace and rest on sleepless nights...Jesus.
Oh how I need to remember these truths when I walk through trials and hardships. If I dwell on Him a little bit longer, His sweetness gives me strength to help me continue to carry my cross. Thank you, Jesus for your unending goodness!
Come to me all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30
Thanks for this post... I needed to hear this right now :)
