The Lord says to me, and perhaps to you, to stop taking on so much in my own strength, but, rather, to only take on His yoke and His burden, which He promises will be light…
Be at peace – and take your rest. Dwell securely in My Presence and be assured of My LOVE. I do not ask monumental feats of you or demand things too far beyond your capacity and capability to do. I am not asking you to always be striving, without let up, to become more perfected in your own sight. I love and accept you as the ‘real’ you and do not ask that you be more than you are or to achieve beyond your ability to do what I have already gifted and equipped you to do. You, yourself, are your own hardest taskmaster and greatest critic, always striving to do more and be better. But I only ask you to be who I have made you to be, and to do only what I have designed you to do.
As you come to Me, to ‘rest’ in My LOVE and take only My Yoke upon you, truly, you will find that it is easy to bear, and is exceedingly light, because I have designed it and it is directly proportioned for you, personally, to bear. My yoke neither chafes nor oppresses. Rather, it is a joy to bear it, because it fits so well, since it is personally designed specifically for you.
When you take on what you, or others, ask or expect of you, the weight of the yoke becomes oppressive, and you are unable to bear up under it. When that oppressive weight upon your shoulders leads you to be overburdened, you must know that it is not from ME. It is too heavy because you have added to it things that I have never asked you to assume, take responsibility for, or take on because you believe you can, or think you must.
Everything that you think to do may not necessarily be My will, My purpose, or My plan for you. It is easy to get guilt-tripped by the enemy of your soul to overburden and overextend yourself. Step back and say, ‘Lord, show me what is Your will in the matter.’ I will answer.
TRUST Me to LEAD you…ALWAYS.
