Easy does it!

Jesus tells us that all who are weary should come to Him. He eases all burdens. When He is our help, we need not pull as though we were the only ones pulling.

But too often, we read this to mean that with Jesus there is no burden. That simply isn't so. We all have our work to do in the Kingdom. We all have the little ordinary trials of life that form part of the cross we are to carry. We are called to work for God; we will have a burden to carry. We will have a plow to draw.

But, with Jesus yoked with us, we will hardly feel it because He will carry the most weight and He will be there to help us when we tire and stumble. Yes indeed, there is work for us in the Kingdom, but in all that we do Jesus is there--an ever present help.
