In verse 30 of Matthew 11, Jesus says, "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." This means that if the burden you are carrying is weighing heavy upon your shoulders, than that burden cannot possibly be from the Lord. For Jesus Himself said, "my burden is light." I have had to learn this lessen on numerous occasions when issues in the church, various concerns, problems, differences of opinion, etc. have all worked together to make it seem like there is a great weight one must bear if they are in leadership. But this should not be so! God is bigger - and better - than any "weight" that life should push our way. How good it is to know that in Christ, we can "find rest for our souls."
