The lives we need to Live

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Mathew 11:28-30). Simply put complete freedom can only be found under his yoke. As Human beings we were created for dependency first to God and then on one another in a loving and caring community. Reminds me of an African saying that am because we are and since we are I think therefore am. No man is an Island!!!. The belief in self sufficiency is thus a total lie. God created us in his own image and we belong to him even when we may decide to live in total denial. Its high time we realized that our autonomy/independence is not right at all. Yes we have free will and can decide to live as we wish but we should have reverence to the one who created us in the first place. We should hunger for his correction and allow him to take lead of our lives. True rest can only be found from him not from our egos or selfish desires. If we abide and cling on him we will love what he loves and hate what he hates. We will esteem others better than ourselves and the world would be a better place. We should admit that as human beings we are all imperfect and stop practicing self-righteousness. Do you ever imagine what would happen if we stopped the blame game and had forgiving hearts? (As in the Lord's Prayer: Forgive us as we forgive those who sin against us). If we loved Jesus a little more and did what is desired of us, families would be strengthened and the world would be a better place. Personal Prayer, Lord may you grant us the peace of mind that only you can give and may you restore any broken relationship between you and those around us in Jesus' Name I pray. Amen. #DrawingclosertoGod #Restoring #Relationships #Forgiveness, #Prayer
