Mat 11:28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
v. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
v. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
You have made it here to BT Pierdut, you have come to the truth, you are at the Door (Christ; John 10:7, 9)... so how do you/we "take My (Christ's) yoke"?
John 3:30 He (Christ within us) must increase, but I must decrease.
Luke 10:27 So He answered and said, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and "your neighbor as yourself."
Rom 13:9 For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
You are at the Door, you are at a place that very very very few in history have ever reached... you did not get yourself where you are, God did, so why not believe that God could bring you to completion in Christ? You think you're not good enough... ha ha, none of us are, in any way, the elect are the "base... foolish things... that no flesh should glory." Now that's something any of us can believe, even as Paul did, "I am the foremost of sinners."
So take heart, you are in good company, we all have had to have our eyes opened to what this world along with our carnal desires is all about, it's an experience in good and EVIL, but's it's temporary! It's actually a great relief to come to see things (this world) for what they are, so to take (be given) His yoke is such a blessing and then we can truly rest in Him.
Luke 9:23 Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
v. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
v. 25 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?
Rom 13:11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
v. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
v. 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.
v. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
mercy, peace and love
