Rest for your Soul

There is a pathway that Jesus offers that leads to soul rest.
1. You find it by coming to Jesus when you're weary and heavy-burdened, and He gives rest.
2. Next we take His yoke upon us and learn from Him. (When we are the only one in the yoke, we aren't strong enough to pull very far, and He wants to us to learn a few things. Ouch! Do you like to be corrected?!)

Here is the secret: He is gentle and humble in heart.

God just takes it calmly and quietly- steadfastly. He says the burden is easy and the load is light, as we will see when we are yoked with Him. What is heavy and wearying for me is easy and light for Him. This isn't a training program that we will one day have no need for, but instead it becomes our lifestyle. Always yoked with Him. Rest for our souls will be found right there.

Check it out for yourself! Matthew 11:28-30.
