For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. (Matthew 11: 30)
At 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. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. “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. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11: 25-30)
Since we are mere creatures, our freedom is limited. In fact, we can only choose to follow or reject God's will. We cannot decide how reality should be. We can only accept it and recognize God's work in it. When we trust God, we accept the truth of our life as creatures. The truth is Jesus himself. Only his truth sets us free. But are we honest with ourselves? Do we ask ourselves if we accept the truth in everything we do, think, say? Or do we bend and adapt it to our own desires for comfort?
