EASY YOKE



Dear One,
Unbearable stress comes from taking on responsibilities that are not yours to bear.
You are only obligated to handle your own responsibilities. When you assume the responsibilities of someone else, then you are overstepping the areas of your expertise and the added responsibility becomes unbearable.
If you will train yourself to only do what is your personal responsibility, then you will find that your emotional, physical and spiritual health will be sound.
The trick of the devil to make you overburden yourself is all encompassed in his plan to make you so stressed that you will be defeated in your emotional and physical health. You will become ill and depressed.
Worrying and fretting are two mental activities that are sure indications that you have assumed responsibilities that aren't yours, either spiritually, emotionally or physically. If you could do something about those situations, you would. But the fact that you have not and cannot handle them indicate that they are beyond your abilities, thus beyond your area of true responsibility.
When you find yourself physically stressed or emotionally stressed, begin to shed superfluous responsibilities. Let someone else do the work.
When you find yourself emotionally and spiritually stressed, you must then shed superfluous mental responsibilities. Let Me and My angels do the work. All you have to do in those areas is pray and trust Us with the results.
I came to earth and demonstrated My love for you so that you would allow Me to lighten your load. I said to come to Me all those who labor and are heavy laden and I would give you rest. My yoke is still easy and My burden is still light. Let Me do the work in the situations of spiritual need. Then you can rest from your worrying and fretting. I'm your Big Dad. I can handle everything that burdens you.
Love, God
Psalm 37:1-9; Matthew 11:28-30.
