[Manna - February 17]
Take My yoke upon you,...for My yoke is easy, and My burden is light. Matthew 11:29,30
THOSE who wear this yoke have the assurances of
the divine Word that all things are working together
for good to them; that the heavier the burden that
may be attached, the greater will be the blessing and
the reward by and by; the more severe the experiences
during the present time, the brighter shall be
the glory, and the brighter shall be their character,
and the more sure shall they be of being fitted and
polished for the heavenly Kingdom.
From this standpoint
every burden is light, because our yoke is appreciated,
and is so easy, so reasonable: and additionally
it is so light because the Lord is with us in this
yoke. Z.'00-137 R2625:5
