Eagle’s wings

Are you feeling overburdened? It’s time to think about where the load on your back came from. It cannot be from Jesus. His burden is light and his yoke doesn’t hinder you. Another possibility: Jesus did give it to you, but you endure it resentfully and without love. As the old song goes, “he aint heavy, he’s my brother”. Give me, God, the wings of love.
