Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message) "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
If you are like me then at one time or another you have had too many things going on at once. I have tried to carry responsibilities that were not mine to carry and I have allowed others plans to supersede mine. It is like going to a buffet and scooping a spoonful of everything on the buffet and then someone else placing a few spoonfuls of their personal choices on my plate as well. Soon I would have food falling off of my plate. Things would not get eaten because I would be full before I reached the bottom layers of food. We often take on responsibilities until we can no longer handle any of them effectively and when we take on someone else’s responsibilities then we also see something fall to the side. If God place a responsibility before you then do it. Do not take on more than He wants you to do because then you will not be able to handle the stress or do a good job.
