"For My yoke is easy..."

Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."

Life sure can be a roller-coaster sometimes. Just when you think that life can't get any lower, you are on your way back up. My life will be changing in many ways here in the next few days. More than likely there will be both utter happiness and heart-wrenching sadness. Even as I write this, my mind and heart cannot fathom the depths and heights of emotion and spirit that I will achieve. I do have a quiet comfort in knowing that our God is just, and my faith gives me the tools and know-how to tackle these moments.  We know we are not made for this world, and we know that in the end we all have the option of ascending into utter joy... but that decision is one of free will and one that we all must individually make. Yet... once we make the decision God promises that if we choose Him, our journey will be much easier than without. It doesn't mean that it will be simple and easy, it just means that it will be easier.
