BURDEN LIFTER
“For my yoke is easy and my burden light.” – Matthew 11:30
Taking a break is always helpful. That’s why our family squeezes out-of-town trips in our busy schedule once in a while.
But taking a vacation is, in itself, tiring. For an obsessive-compulsive person like me, preparing and packing things for a trip is tedious work. Then during the vacation itself, we get exhausted from our activities. It doesn’t end there.
After the trip, with all the dirty clothes and paraphernalia, plus the souvenirs and pasalubongs, unpacking is even more taxing. But at the end of it all, it’s the bonding and the love that’s worth remembering.
In this life, we oftentimes get tired and burdened from our regular routine. From finding solutions to our various problems. From fighting sin. From finding all possible means to stay within the budget and pay our debts. From trying to repair broken relationships. Even from struggling to be good.
But at the end of the day, what matters is that we put our trust in the Lord and rest in His holy presence. His love that is new every morning shall make our burdens light. Sol Saura (sol_saura@yahoo.com)
REFLECTION:
Are you carrying a heavy load right now? Give ‘em all to Jesus!
Thank You, Lord, for always being there to see us through.
Servant of God Francis Garces and Companions, pray for us.
