What does it mean to feel release, to have the burdens that weigh us down lifted from us? What does it mean to feel freedom from the guilt that burdens us? What does it mean to release ourselves from the expectations of others and embrace who God created us to be? What does it mean to find release from worry about the future and embrace the present? What does it mean to be released?
I think of the times growing up on a farm where I helped unload a pickup truck loaded down with heavy bags of fertilizer. The suspension on the pickup sagged under the load and it was difficult to drive it when it carried so much weight. One by one we would unload the bags and I could visibly see the truck lighten up as it was released from the load. Once the bed was empty, the pickup had an amazing lightness to it when I drove it.
Jesus wants to do the same for our life. He can remove the heavy bags that weigh us down and make it difficult to maneuver in life: “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, 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 (Matthew 11:28-30, NASB).”
Jesus offers us rest for our weary soul. He understands your burdens and wants you to learn from Him. He is a gentle and humble teacher who walks with you each step of the way. He will give you release and the rest you seek if you truly seek Him. He can restore a lightness to your life. Trust Him and find release.
Amen! God wants us to know that we can find rest in Him. He is our refuge. Wishing you blessings!
Praise God! Blessings.
To me it means leaving a life of chaos and darkness walking in light and clarity. It’s means understand how to hold God to his promises for my life according to Holy scripture. It means understanding that good things come from God, but confusion comes from Satan.
Amen. Thanks for sharing. May God be your shield, a refuge. Blessings.
Thank you for this prayer.🥰
