where are you headed for?

This past Saturday night i was channel surfing and came upon Schindlers list on TV   I had seen it before.  I almost always get emotional when i see the scene with the little girl in the red jacket playing in the street.  even though there is ciaos going on all around her, still she seems unafraid of her surroundings.  It breaks my heart to later see her dead in a mass grave.  Many times I wonder are we that little girl?  do we simply play through the streets of life unaware of our surroundings.  Do we wander through our own turmoil leaving god out of it, to simply figure our own way out?  Do we simply end up in a mass grave with so many others just because we wouldn't cast our burdens on Jesus?

Matthew 11:28-30

GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

²⁸ “Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Place my yoke^[a] over your shoulders, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for yourselves ³⁰ because my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Don't go around carrying something you were never meant to carry.  Jesus is there just waiting, wanting you to give it to him.  Dont end up in the mass grave.

Matthew 7:7-14

New Living Translation (NLT)

Effective Prayer

⁷ “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

⁹ “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? ¹⁰ Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! ¹¹ So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.

The Golden Rule

¹² “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

The Narrow Gate

¹³ “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell^[a] is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. ¹⁴ But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

father i pray for all those i know that are carrying burdens they were never ment to carry.  I pray for all those entering their own mass grave.  I pray that they would cast their burdens on you.  I simply pray for all that might read this, that your will be done it their lives.

amen
