There was a time when you stood tall with boulders hanging from your shoulders. But I came and cut those ties. You fell because you weren’t used to the lightness. You fell to the ground and weren’t able to stand. You continue to reach for the boulders; they are all you’ve ever known. But I have removed the boulders; they are out of reach. Those boulders will no longer fit. Those boulders are not for you.
Come, walk with me. I’ll show you a new way. Do you want to live burden free? Then take my hand and come with me.
How does it feel to be burden free? It may feel strange at first, but you’ll relish the freedom.
I have come to give you a new life; a life filled to the brim. What do you require? Dream big; ask and you shall receive.
I have never denied you. Maybe you weren’t ready or your heart was not focused on me. I will not give you what will destroy you. I will give you what will bless you.
Trust me. Trust in my love and trust in my love for you.
As you rest in me, I will make you taller and stronger. Look, your feet are clad with running shoes. I’ve given you strength and agility.
From now on, you will quickly arrive to the places I’ve set before you. There’s no delay. Put on your shoes and move into what I have for you.
Oh, you will be delighted and awestruck. Remember, stay focused on me and I will give you the desires of your heart.
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.””
Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV
