Faithfulness leads us to the heart of God and he blesses those who walk down that righteous path. Jesus said that this path is narrow and difficult and few find it. It is this path we must travel on, by walking in the ways of God’s laws; honouring, thanking, praising and worshipping Jesus and experiencing his deep love, which is for every human being. Jesus invites us all to yoke ourselves to him. A yoke is a heavy piece of wood placed on the shoulders of two beasts of burden and attached to a cart or a plough. Despite its weight the yoke actually lightens the burden of the two animals as it evenly distributes the force of the load between them. When we share our yoke with Jesus, the burdens we carry are suddenly much lighter. How often do we forget about Jesus and journey through life weighed down by many troubles and anxieties? Jesus is calling us to come to him, and share our burdens with him. Then our burdens become lighter as we journey with him and in him.

PRAYER: Abba Father, lead us each day to faithfulness and love. Amen.
