Ever make follow jesus into some grueling task?...........

Matthew 11:29-30 "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." Somedays I have made following jesus into some gianormous daunting task...thinking to myself ok I need to do x number of good works etc. etc. Worrying about "works" about something that I don't think I should be worrying about like that, doing good works is great, and it's fab to do some but jesus yoke is easy, and his "burden is light" 2 Corinthians 11:3 "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."

What I need to do everyday I think is hate my life in this world John 12:25 "He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." Love not this earth or the things in it 1 John 2:15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." That's my mission these days : ) good works I might do some those to : ) but I think it's not good when I sweat over the idea worry much if I have enough good works or no, get heeding John 12:25 down pat and 1 John 2:15 down pat is my goal, fact it's pry extremely good that I don't have such a fab list of good works, that sure does help w/my being meek and lowly of heart ---- that and man I'm scarcely saved it's ridiculous, scarcely at best! It's a real battle for me to not love this world or the things in it.......but worth it, I need that light yoke jesus had. I need to no more be no sort of friend with this world, not love the things of this world or this world no more! 1 John 4:17 "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." Jesus christ was meek and "lowly in heart" I think he didn't own much, I think he lived a very simple life ----- this just my theory. From all I can gather about jesus, he cared for others, was very giving of his time and whatever he could give to help people in anyway........he layed his life down I believe to do the will of god.....such is my going theory : ) If I give into the lusts of the flesh........I'm not doing the will of god!!!!!!! But besides that I think god desire for me us/to be as jesus is........."because as he is, so are we in this world" and that is meek and lowly in heart - humble, humble humble. Humble myself and pray for my enemies, and love them and do good to them. Jesus looking at jesus's life on this earth really think he cared about people a lot.....Deuteronomy 15:11
"For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land." Not just for my salvation sake do I need to "crucify my flesh to it's lust's and desires" but to be able to "open thine hand wide" that's not just a tiny somewhat open hand really speaks to me that that is a hand opened "wide" jesus I believe he wasn't just humble and meek "lowling in heart" he was extremely giving, he hits me as having his hand opened wide while he was on this earth ---- and he was lowly and meek while doing it......his heart was there his heart was for people, people's needs, more then just for people to be saved I think, for their health, for their well being. Proverbs 13:7 "There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches." I'm determined to be the type that "maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches" that's fab way to be I think! It's good to give, it's good to have your hand opened as wide as you can give as much as your can "....unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land" you know whichever of that list you decide to give to a heap I think is fine : )
