“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 burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
BLESSED —- when some people think of being blessed, they think about material things. They think about having money, a lovely home, a great job, plenty of groceries in the pantry, etc. We are probably all guilty of these views at some time or another.
BUT —- what about the thought that we are blessed because we get to follow Christ? What about the idea we get to serve our fellow man? What about the belief that God is always with us? What about the thought we are promised eternal life if we believe in Christ? I say these are the best blessings of all.
All our earthly goods will fade away in time, but the blessing of being with Christ forever shines brightly for all who believe that He is the Way.
My challenge to us is to remember that we serve a God who promises us peace, love and life everlasting.
Peace to all,
Jackie
