Several years ago I studying light and came across this
scripture
28 ¶ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
We always look at the Saviors burden as light not being
heavy, but it struck me that his burden is light like the light that comes from
him.
I often think of my
burdens loaded in a wagon and I am strapped to the wagon and pulling them with
all my might. I am standing there
sometimes feeling unsure and hopeless and sometimes scared that I am not going
to be able to move forward with all that I carry. Then I always have this image come to mind
the Savior walking towards me with His load that is all light and be puts his
load in my wagon and the weight is gone. Then he straps himself in with me and
he says let us walk a while together. I
keep looking back my burdens are there amongst all his light in my wagon and
the journey doesn’t seem as long as we visit along the way.
The Savior’s light for me is reading my scriptures, reading
the words of our prophets and good music and partaking of the sacrament each
week.
My wagon is always with me sometimes it filled with burdens
and light from the Savior and sometimes it is just filled with the Saviors
light. I have noticed if I can keep the
light always in my wagon that when trials and heartache come they don’t knock
me down like they use too. I just look towards
the Savior and say "here we go again."
No matter what we are going through good or bad the answer
is always the Savior and the best way to come to know that Savior is walking
with Him daily in our scriptures study and prayers so that we go through the
day we carry His light with us. I love
you all. This is my testimony in the
name of Jesus Christ Amen.
Have a delightful day
Charissa
