Good Morning!! The religious leaders of Jesus’ day,...not unlike some today, would heap rule after rule on the people for them to follow,...just in order to gain God’s favor. In contrast, Jesus invited them and us to simply believe in Him to find real acceptance from God.
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." —John 12:32 (NIV)
This same invitation goes out to all who are trying to reach out to, and please God, on their own. When we accept Jesus, He lifts our sins, making us acceptable to a holy God. Along with removing our burdens, he invites us to learn from Him. As we learn to trust Him more, we will find that giving Him our worries will come naturally.
We were never meant to go through life with loads of worry, sin, and guilt dragging us down.
Lord, help us to give more of our burdens to You,...because the more we trust, the lighter our loads become. Amen.
"Think differently, and positively."
