Weighed Down – Jennifer Woodley

‘True love for God means obeying his commands and his commands don’t weigh us down as heavy burdens.’ 1 John 5:3 (The Passion)

The commands of a loving God will never crush us. Instead, they are delightful, easy to bear and will bring only pleasure, freedom and purpose to our lives.

If however, we do find ourselves burdened, then perhaps we are not obeying His commands. We have probably taken on the weight of activities, and responsibilities that God never intends us to carry. God’s commands are a delight, not a duty. Duty is an exhausting weight that quickly tires us. So too are the weights of legalism and unrealistic expectations. Consider what extra weights we have unintentionally gathered and hinder us from living lightly just now.

When we find ourselves struggling with a heavy load, Jesus has provided an answer. His invitation in Matthew is clear. “Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am an oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.” Matt 11:28-30 (The Passion)

Today, let’s resolve to lay our lives at the cross of Christ. By surrendering ourselves to Him and releasing all the activities that shape our days, we can then pick up what is His call for us. Ask Jesus to forgive us for the weighty burdens we have picked up that He has not purposed for us to carry. Stay close to His presence. Listen attentively to His voice. In doing so we will learn to live freely and lightly.

"Hi Michael, I was given a copy by a friend about two years ago when I told them I didn’t believe but had an encounter with what I now know was the Holy Spirit prior to reading the book. After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you sir!! And God bless!"
