What I have learned? Well, I can't seem to put my finger on it because I feel like I am in the midst of learning it. So while I feel like I learned a lot today maybe you might say that if I cannot tell you what I learned that I did not really learn anything, at least not yet. I would strongly disagree.
Some points...
God's grace is sufficient.
God IS good when there is nothing good in me.
It hurts sometimes, but the hurt isn't mine.
Ok, so that is a random collection of some stuff spewing out of my head right now. But what I feel like God is really trying to show me is this...
Matthew 11:29,30When life is difficult and the burden I am bearing is unbearable. When I am spinning my wheels trying to keep going then I am not bearing the burden God intends me to. I am carrying the wrong burden when it feels too heavy. Why? Because Jesus said my yoke is easy to bear and the burden is light. Does this mean life is easy? By no means, because Jesus also said deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me.
Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.
So the key is learning the difference between taking up our cross and carrying a burden and yoke God does not intend for us.
