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<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Freeing up our lives for Him, and staying free, is a job in itself.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Oh, praise God, I’m talking to some people out there today, and I\u2019m right there with you.<\/p>\n

I know how you feel because I myself am going through this very thing.<\/p>\n

How do we live this life of helping others, but not overdo it?<\/p>\n

We may ask, “why would something so good hurt us or even be a concern?”.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the heaviness of it that wears us down and takes our energy, time and, most importantly, all our focus.<\/p>\n

This is my fight. It\u2019s a struggle.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Understanding comes when we go to Him with it, and we let Him counsel us.<\/p>\n

He says, “come to Me!”.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

We can keep ourselves on a wrong and busy road by forgetting to take these steps.<\/p>\n

Lord God, help us to free ourselves up for You, and take up Your yoke, that we may find rest. Amen.<\/p>\n
