The world on my shoulder
The world on my shoulder?
A lot of times I felt that way. In my work, when something is to be done, some wrong is to made right, or maybe in ministry, when the team is not performing well, people are not disciplined, or when the service is going bad, it feels that everything fall on my shoulder. I think, work hard to handle the situation, and often too stressed.
I remembered many times, and still forgot a few times, to let go. Not to let everything haywire, but to let go the burden. In fact, most of the time those burdens do not belong to me alone and I do not have to bear that all this time.
Matthew 11:28-30 (New International Version)
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
I just got that from my pastor today. Two oxen brings a yoke. When God said that to us, it is not that he put the yoke upon us and leave us. I am at one side and He is the other side. Together we will walk, work, talk. And along the way I will learn from him, and I will find my rest.
