my yoke is easy and my burden is light

Matthew 11: Rest for the Weary
25At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.
27"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Notes: I have found this to be a truth for when I was out off all my options, destroyed from a lifestyle of Drugs and dying. I called out to Jesus and he rescued me, and His yoke is easy. It is much easier to follow what is right, then to follow the is wrong in the long run. 13 years ago my life was forever changed by Jesus, as He took me in my life has been one reward after another. Marriage to a loving wife, cars, home, great job. I was in hell for 14 years of drugs and following my own desires. My prayer is simple and that is for God to use me and be in control of my life to twice of what I wasted. So if I am allowed by Him to reach out to others on His behave for another 15 yrs then I will be greatly rewarded. And the weary and weakness of my wasted years will be taken back in my mind at least.
