His Yoke is Easy



"Come to me, all 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

Words that jump out about me from this passage in Matthew are weary, burdened, rest, gentle, humble, rest, easy, and light. The hard words are the ones that describe us, and the soft words are the ones that describe Jesus. He wants to make a shift in our lives and our thinking from a place of being overwhelmed and incapable to a place of peace and reliance on Him to give us relief in our situations.

You Are Not Alone





"Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."-Deuteronomy 3:16

I just feel this on my heart for you today.  No matter where in the world you are, or what you are going through, God is there with you.  Whether you are in a dangerous circumstance, or feel as though you may be drowning in a hopeless situation, he is there.  He will bring you out of it.  He will not leave you.  There is hope.  There is help.  My prayer for you today is that you will cling to this hope, and never give up.  He loves you.  You are important to Him.

In Jesus' beautiful name, blessings to you friends.

~Beth
