The Burden-Bearer

" Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
                                 -Matthew 11:28-30


My child, do not share your burdens with all who come to you professing concern. I, Myself, am the great burden-bearer. You need not look to another. I will lead you and guide you in wisdom from above. All things will be as I plan them, if you allow Me the freedom to shape circumstances and lead you to the right decisions.

I am merciful and kind. I love you beyond measure. I intend to do you good; and I will bring to you those who can truly help, if you leave all in My hands.

I want you to prosper and be in health. I want you to know me more intimately. If difficulties come, it is by My order and for your benefit. Others would say you have trouble: I would day you have a test.

Perhaps Today

Behold, as the lilies of the field, and as the grass, so your life is but for a season.
Yes, though you flourish in health, yet your time is short.
You have no sure promise of tomorrow.
Therefore live each day as though it were your last.
Seize each opportunity, knowing that it may be your last.

For it is certainly true that no situation presents itself twice the same.
The opportunities of today are not those of tomorrow.
Do not live as though they might be repeated.
Do not fail to enter every open door, or be held back by a feeling of unreadiness.
I Myself am your preparation.

I will give you the needed grace and wisdom for each moment as it comes, and you will rejoice in the victory.
For I will overcome timidity, and I Myself will displace inadequacy.
This is My work.
I will do it Myself through you if you allow yourself to be a channel for the flow of My Spirit.

For I myself am the life.
I Myself am your wisdom and your strength, even as I am your joy and your peace.
I am your victory.
My word is power because My word is spirit and truth.

Do not bear needless burdens.
They will only press upon your spirit and interfere with My movings.
Much remains to be accomplished.
Linger not over what happens to be an unfinished case.
Pass on.
My Spirit will continue to strive though you give no further thought.
In this way your mind shall be kept free and your path open,
and it shall always be a new way.
Keep moving always, and from life to life I will accomplish My purpose.
And know that as I work, all things work together, so that there is gathering strength and there shall be a glorious consummation.

Praise God!
