Big Shoulders

“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.” Matthew 11:28-30

To all of those who are burdened and weary...and who need to be reminded that you are not alone. You have a gentle and powerful PARTNER who loves you and who is up front with pulling power!

“Jesus doesn’t offer a life of luxurious ease-the yoke is still an oxen’s tool for working hard. But it’s a shared yoke, with weight falling on bigger shoulders than yours. Someone with more pulling power is up front helping. Suddenly you are participating in life’s responsibilities with a great PARTNER-and now that frown can turn into a smile, and that gripe into a song.” Bible Commentary
 
May you enjoy the song below and may your soul sing to your Savior, Partner, LORD, Father and Friend!

  1. Thank you, AGAIN! Jasmine, for another great message of hope, joy, and encouragement!! "How Great Thou Art," was playing on a CD in my Dad's hospital room at the time of his death. He is especially close to me whenever I hear this song. Memories are sweet because I know how much he loved the Lord.

    Blessings to you, my Friend,
    RoseAnn
