He never said it would be easy...

Many people use the line, " He never said it would be easy, He only said it would be worth it."

That phrase is 100% true....except....

Matthew 11:28-30 says:

"28 ¶ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

He did say it would be easy, if we 'take His yoke upon us'.   

A Yoke is a device that 2 oxen or horses share to pull their heavy loads.

So when we take the 'yoke' of the Savior on us he is not turning everything over to us.  He is on the other half of that yoke, carrying our burden with us. But we have to choose to take His burden, so He can help us with ours.  We have to come to Him.  He is waiting for you and me to do just that.

I love you, Jaxon, but  I know that our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, love you even more than I do.

You're OK. You can do this.

Love, Mom
