Lay your burdens down

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



Poem Artwork


 Jesus said, “Come to me and lay your burdens down.”


He told us that if we come to him true rest will truly be found.


 


“My yoke is light,” he told them.  “Replace your burdens with my compassion.”


Jesus went on to say to them, “I have a humble heart and the Father feeds my passion.


 


“You will find rest for your souls with me; for my yoke is easy and my burden light.


Look up and pray to the Heavenly Father and he will see you through the darkest night.


 


The yoke of Jesus is love, my friend and when we show it to others we are complete.


It is a rewarding gift he gives and replaces resentment, anger and conceit.


 


So live your life trusting in the Lord and know his Spirit is always with you.


He will be your guide where ever you go and he will guide what’re you do.


 


Love ye, one another!

A beautiful, well written poem, full of spirit and truth my friend. A very wise write my friend, you've offered the reader much spiritual strength and guidance through your anointed words. Enjoyed this much, for God is our help in our hour of need, during rejoicing, and our rest when we are weary from lifes storms. He goes with us through the hard times, good times, sad times, and when we feel we are alone, He is there...we must open our hearts, souls, and minds to accept all that He has for us. Great write my friend...
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

Hi Lew, I had to smile when I saw the verse you quoted. This morning I penned a poem (prose) titled My Good Fortune...I intended to post it tomorrow. In it I also make reference to the very verse you sited. Once again, my friend, we read each other. This has been happening lately with other writers too. Anyway, yours is a brilliant message with much truth for everyone. We serve a loving Triune God indeed!

God Bless
Lena
