"Come to me, all you who labor
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and
LEARN from me...
And you will find rest for yourselves..."
Matthew 11:28-30
Sometimes I picture God
shaking His head in frustration.
He has already given us
His 'instruction manual',
how to live so that we will have peace
in the midst of confusion,
joy in spite of sadness and pain,
wholeness and strength
in spite of circumstances around us
trying to destroy what we have.
Jesus says LEARN from me.
Listen to me, follow me.
Instead we want to do it, "My way!"
Imagine if we didn't know how to drive
and we bought a really nice car and
didn't read the manual that the
manufacturers carefully put together
so that the car would run at its optimum.
Could we get far using it?
Through trial and error?
That's what we do with our lives when we
don't read our instruction manual, the Bible!
I think when we get to Heaven and see
our 'manufacturer' face to face and talk to Him,
we're going to say, "If only
I took You more seriously!
It would have saved me a lot of pain and frustration!"
