My burden vs Christ burden

In Matthew 11: 30, Christ talks about His burden that is light. Sounds like an oxymoron to me. How can a burden be light?
God stamped this truth in my mind and heart as I was teaching it a couple days ago. It has been a while since I taught His word to an audience /congregation /gathering, and I have always loved doing so. But this time, I got to experience Jesus's light burden before I was able to put it into words.
This time I literally taught as the Holy Spirit guided me word by word. I was just His child, His disciple, being obedient to God. I wasn't worried about how biblically sound I was, or if I am saying the right thing, or if the people are understanding or receiving what I was saying. Obeying God this time was a light burden, just like Jesus promised.
Jesus's burden is truly light. It does bring rest to my soul when I simply walk in obedience to Him. Rest from my worries and fears and concerns. Jesus takes care of the rest when I just simply obey Him.
Is your walk with God a heavy burden? Then you are still carrying your own burden, even though you have come to Him. If your burden is not light, then it is not His burden you carry, it is yours.
Is your life weighing you down? Is it a heavy burden?
Come to Jesus, become yoked with Him, and learn from Him. You will find rest for your souls. His burden is light.

Trustworthy God!

When God shows me new truth, or another aspect to it, or taking it deeper, the initial outlook is usually promising. Why? Because I have already identified in my head what I think I should change or do to embrace it.
Thing is, God ALWAYS includes way more than I could ever think about. And when He does, it's like "wait, wait, you mean that too?"
I smile right now, but it never feels great at the moment. But, I can smile, because I can't hide nothing from God, and He knows what He is doing and He has proven countless times that He is absolutely trustworthy.
When I feel like things are being scattered and my 'known reality" is at stake, the only thing that allows me to think pass that and surrender to Him is that He is trustworthy.
He loves me, and even though He will never lower His standards and requirements for me, He will never harm me or hurt me or steer me wrong. Why would He, the right way is His way.
The only other challenge I face besides letting go, is the accusing lies of the Enemy. See, they are not the easy ones to recognize. No, no. He comes with the subtle ones that question your heart motives. Yeah, those ones that hit to the core. I thank God for the godly people He has placed in my life who help me wade through the lies.

I move forward knowing this truth:

  "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Isaiah 41:10

Bran! Bran! New!

2 Corinthians 5:17 says, 'Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.'
My old, previous, former, natural way of thinking, responding, processing, perceiving, believing, doing, saying, looking, has passed away. Not 'is passing' or 'will pass' but 'has passed'.  Full stop. Done.
Being born again is something that happens in our life, it is not a process. Learning from Christ is a life long process.
I thank God I am His. Are you?
