Rest for Soul: Matthew 11:29

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.

Matthew 11:29 (NIV)

A yoke is a device used to harness animals to attach them to a plow or cart. Jesus asks us to take His yoke and let him control and direct our life; learn from Him. As an instructor, He is gentle and humble. He teaches with fairness and patience. For; Jesus is humble in heart. His priority is always God’s will, not his own. Like Him, we need to follow God’s will and let go of our pride.

Jesus’s yoke is lined with love and brings peace and joy; rest for our souls.

⁂

Are you tired of trying to find your way and failing? If we accept God’s guidance and let go of pride, we find rest for our souls.

Prayer; Lord Jesus, thank You for Your guidance and salvation. Help us to realize what is important in life. Teach us to be humble; let go of pride and walk with You. Like the clematis flower is open and rests against the post, let us be open to God’s will and find rest for our souls. Amen

Love Deeply: 1 Peter 4:8

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

1Peter 4:8 (NIV)

In this verse, Peter acknowledges that we are not perfect; we make mistakes and fail to obey. The redemptive love of Jesus covers our sins. When dealing with one another, we need to exhibit this Christ-like love. We need to forgive each other, overlook past difficulties, strengthen each other, and learn to love each other deeply. Peter is requesting that we make love a priority, for love covers a multitude of sins. It is important Christians show deep love, forgiving as Christ does.


8Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins. 9Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. 10God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another

1 Peter 4:8-10 (NLT)

Do you love deeply, sharing the love of Jesus in your daily interactions?

Prayer; Jesus, we thank You for Your forgiveness and love. Teach us to embrace Your love and share it in our daily activities. Help us to love deeply and forgive graciously. Guide us in Your truth and light. Like the Passion Flower’s name emanates from Jesus’ crucifixion, let our love emanate from the love and forgiveness of Jesus. Amen.
