Whose Burdens are You Carrying? Pt 2

So last week I started sharing a bit about how God is our Burden Bearer. I still love it!

But you know what? There is more. There is always more with God.

Matthew 11:28-30 reads "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.”

Here Jesus is telling us to come to him with our burdens. So not only is He keen to take our burdens, He is going to exchange them for something better. But I guess it is more like a parent with a child who has something that they shouldn't have. The parent has something good in their hands, but won't give it to them until the child surrenders what they have.

It is an exchange that takes place, a marvellous, marvellous exchange.

So I encourage you, take your burdens to God, tell Him all about it. And then, just rest in the notion that God will only give you as much as you can handle, and that He really is just doing the best for you.
