Heavy Laden, I will give you rest


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
