“Come to Me, all who are weary and
heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn
from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for
your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” –Matt 11:28-30 (NASB)
I thought it was just
me, but there seems to be a lot of heaviness and people who are just “worn out”
lately; from work, stress, and life in general. Being a single parent is definitely
no easy task, and our daily burdens seem to be magnified perhaps greater than
our single or married peers. But I think it goes beyond that. Our enemy loves
to get us to a place where we become so distracted and worn down that we run
ourselves in circles…and eventually right into his traps.
I was reminded that TODAY is National Single Parents Day. What a great way to celebrate….not
in feelings of failure and despair; but rather in the fact that our Savior is
readily available to not only take our burdens off of our shoulders and onto
His; but that He gives us a reason to celebrate our victory in Him! Holy week
is less than a month away. Now is a greater time than ever to begin to refresh
your relationship with the Lord if needed, to seek Him for even greater
heights, and to proclaim the greatness He represents in each of our lives.
Yes, it may feel like
you are constantly pouring out: to others, to your kids, and even to God. Take
inventory today of where you may be drying up spiritually and allow Jesus to be
the one to refill you. I recently attended a prayer and praise night at my
church…and wow! Did I ever need that! Celebrate your day today single dads and
moms; but not necessarily in your earthly position…but in your heavenly position
as an overcomer in Christ and a child of God.
