Matthew 11:29-30 King James Version (KJV)
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Oh! I feel a bit of a word coming on today…hang on y’all….you
know how I do it!!! Some of you may not fully get where I’m coming from so I
challenge you to grab a Bible and try to learn…some of y’all understand and
choose to ignore the message…my prayer is for your change of heart… my wish is
for everyone to live in this joy!!! Maybe I’m transitioning over into “church
mother” status but I truly understand why the saints sing THIS JOY THAT I HAVE!
REAL TALK from KB: T.D. Jakes – Can You Stand To Be Blessed –
Chapter 6 Romancing A Stone? OMG!!!!!! I woke up a little after midnight and read this chapter into almost 2 am.
Y’all I’m telling you…if you want to get free of some things
that you've been weighted down by…you want to step into God’s will. You want to
line up you walk and talk…..READ THIS BOOK!!! I am blessed by the fact that I
had a spiritual foundation. I was raised in church. I strayed BIG TIME!!! I returned…I strayed
again….at about age 32 I made a commitment to God and even attended seminary
for a period of time. I was appointed to a ministerial position, which I
subsequently gave up. I did not stray from my faith walk but I did however
question my calling.
Fast forward a few years forward I am still deep into my
spirituality but it had dulled over the years. Prayer time and worship were
compromised. I didn't stray but I didn't put in the time or the work either. I
treated my relationship with God like I do some of my friends….you know, you’re
still acquainted and connected but you don’t talk on a regular basis. God is a
friend but He is also, well, GOD! He is
worthy of all my attention and praise.
Now, in the moment, current, to date…..I had to acknowledge
my hurt, my guilt, my anger and my pain…majority of it as a result of poor
choices. I had to acknowledge these things as the things that truly prevented
me from connecting with the fullness of God. Today I can say that I am free
after acknowledging the weight I was choosing to pick up every day….it was
easier to lift the weight than to carry my cross (if you don’t get the
reference grab a Bible and read Matthew 16:24). I was more willing to identify
with my own suffering than to acknowledge that Christ did far more suffering
for me .
I can say that it is truly a blessing to understand what God
was talking about when He said take my yoke upon you….
How ya livin’?!!!!
