Is Your Burden Light?

“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome.” (1 John 5:3)

            Burdens must be carried; joys are gratefully attended to.  A trip to run errands brings slowly shuffling feet and muttered assent from children.  A trip to the zoo leads to a mad scramble for shoes and joyous cheers as they pile into the vehicle.  Agreement to do a thing is not the same as rejoicing to do a thing.

            We cannot simply keep God’s commands and say we love Him… we must keep them and strive to treat those commands as a joy and not a burden.  Cheerful giving triumphs over mumbled obedience.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
