Summary: Rest
Why is wearing
His yoke
Of serving others
Said to be so easy?Matthew 11:28-29
And why
Are bearing all the burdens
That He spoke of
Deemed to be so restful
And so light?Matthew 5:38-48
It's because we don't
Provide the food
That feeds the multitude.Luke 9:12-17
And it's because we don't
Supply the seed of faith
That makes us think
It's even possible.
God does!Luke 11:9-13Ephesians 3:14-21
All we have to do
Is freely give away
The tiny seeds of hope
That God so freely gives us.
And always seek to sow
The little seeds of happiness
That God Himself dispenses—Ecclesiastes 11:6Hosea 10:12
Even when it seems like
Our faith is in decline
And hope
And happiness
Are very hard to find.
For just as surely
As we do,
We will just as surely find
That the reason why we have
An innate ability
To give so overflowing
And so endlesslyJohn 4:6-14
Is because it doesn't
Come from within.
It comes
From God!John 3:1-81 John 2:28-29
