Off Our Shoulders

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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 NIV

He’s waiting with open arms, eager to help you, me, any one who seeks Him and invites Him in - yes Lord! Thank You! My friends He is waiting to be your way your truth - to pour out His mercy on us, and to lift the burdens off our shoulders. 

Don’t wait until you’re in a desperate situation to draw near to Jesus. Come to Him every day. Now!

Philippians 4:4-7 TPT Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let your joy overflow! And let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near. Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell Him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.

We ought to be doing what Jesus talked about in those verses. We ought to be ministering the healing power of God to the sick, casting out devils, sharing the Word of God with people, and helping them get delivered! 

God is ready and able to do those things through us. He just needs us to stop being so caught up in the world around us in this life and start paying more attention to His lead. 

He needs for us to walk with Him day by day, and allow the fruit of the spirit He’s put within us to flow out TO others. 

The more we do that, the more we’ll see revival in this earth. The more we do that, the more people will see God’s goodness through us and come running to Him because the fruit of Holy Spirit manifests in the way we speak to others. This includes the way we talk to friends, family, co-workers, store clerks, strangers on social media, and especially to those who are unkind to us.

God demonstrates His goodness in His creation. God saw all that He had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. (Genesis 1:31 NIV). 

When God spoke and created the world and everything in it out of nothing, it was not just "good" but "very good." The goodness of creation reveals God's nature. He alone is perfect and, therefore, can only create what is good.

When trials come, make sure to take time to enjoy what God created. Step out into nature if you can and feel the warm sun on your face and watch the trees as they sway in the cool breeze. Listen to the birds' songs and marvel at God's beautiful creation, and delight in it! Hallelujah! 

God is equally good during our difficult times as He is during our good times. All God is, and everything God does is infinitely good. He powerfully works for the good of those who love Him, whom He calls according to His purpose to reveal His glory and eternal plan. Holy Spirit is involved in every little detail of our life and demonstrates His goodness in so so many ways.
