i know that today is my 20th spiritual birthday. but i dont know why it started with such a traumatic experience...i just remembered that a few days ago, the Lord has been leading me to a striking encounter with matt 11.25-30... where the invitation is to rest in Jesus and learn of his humility and gentleness... where the invitation is to take the yoke that Jesus gave and put it on my shoulders... where the invitation is to bear the yoke that is easy and light... where the invitation is to come and receive the rest that Jesus reserved for those who are weary and tired from carrying heavy burdens...
my heavy burdens are:
loosing just a year old cellphone and having such trauma of being robbed almost every year the past 3-4 years... but this one is the worst - being doubly robbed of the security of a home!
being the one to be blamed for the same looses of my two brothers... one brother loosing his own cellphone, too, and some huge amount for his family's moving on expenses... and another brother loosing another huge amount which is supposedly for my father's cellphone, too...
why, oh why? my lot was set today...
but i am destined for a choice... and i choose the yoke that is light and easy... and i choose the path to rest and well-being...
the Lord is good and His love endures forever... this remains and will remain even after a thousand more 20 years ahead... what a sustaining grace! what a love divine! what a great wonder! what a miracle...
