Bible Verse of The Day – 12-3-22

Matthew 11:28-29 (NKJV) 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Freeing up our lives for Him, and staying free, is a job in itself.

How many are like me? You care so much that you fill yourself with the problems of others by taking them on like they are our own.

Oh, praise God, I’m talking to some people out there today, and I’m right there with you.

I know how you feel because I myself am going through this very thing.

How do we live this life of helping others, but not overdo it?

We may ask, “why would something so good hurt us or even be a concern?”.

It’s the heaviness of it that wears us down and takes our energy, time and, most importantly, all our focus.

This is my fight. It’s a struggle.

I cried out to Him, and He is teaching me where I am off; where I need to make adjustments, and how to get free from my own self and the guilt I carry at times because I feel like I can’t do enough.

Understanding comes when we go to Him with it, and we let Him counsel us.

He says, “come to Me!”.

The balance is in leaving my cares and concerns with Him. And then my part is to rest my soul by trusting that He’s got it!

We can keep ourselves on a wrong and busy road by forgetting to take these steps.

Lord God, help us to free ourselves up for You, and take up Your yoke, that we may find rest. Amen.
