“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30. (NKJV).
“Daddy, The oxen are pulling the cart filled with coffee beans, but...” She frowned. “It looks so heavy."
“Are the owners kind? Do they take care of the animals?” She bit her bottom lip.
“Absolutely. The yoke must fit or the animals develop sores. If they’re hurting, they don’t work well together. Not good for the animals or the owner.”
“The animals work together?” Her forehead puckered. “Is one stronger than the other?”
“Usually,” he said. “One leads, the other follows.” He pointed to the two pulling the red cart. “See how those two work together?” She giggled.
“Look at their feet. They’re dancing, not working.” Daddy smiled.
“As it should be or they would jerk back and forth.” Daddy lifted her onto his shoulders. She patted his head.
"Love you, Daddy."
Kingdom Thinking. I tried to be the leader and do things my way--a streak of rebellion from Mother Eve. I messed up, big time. Then the Lord Jesus offered me His way. His yoke. My back didn't handle burdens not meant for me. His yoke fits and He'll never unyoke Himself from me. He offers the same to you. Won't you come?
