The brighter a lady shines,
the faster she burns out.
Quote: Author Unknown
How do we keep from burning out? Proverbs 31 describes a virtuous woman. One who is busy with home, children, business, finiances, humanity and the Lord. It seems we have an awful lot of weight to carry. And the weight does get heavy if we try to bear the burden on our shoulders, literally. Sometimes the Lord asks us to do things that are impossible so that we would come to the knowledge and understanding that we cannot do it, we need Him. We do not bear the burden of the Light Himself. He is the Father of Lights. James 1:17
Hence, We don’t carry the burden of the light. We just reflect it.
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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:29
One of the hardest things to do in the Christian walk is to stop trying to save ourselves. It is only when we surrender everything to the Lord that He is able to save to the uttermost all that we have earnestly submitted to Him. We fumble feebly, trying to be saviors. Our task is to walk in His light. Reflecting Him is easy. He is LOVE.
I’m forever thankful for the cross. Without Him my soul would be lost.
