Little tufts of fur here and there were telltale signs that our
dog was starting to shed his winter coat. Shedding is a natural process, but he
couldn’t rid himself of the extra-long fur; Scout needed his groomer’s help.
Carrying burdens can sometimes be like wearing a heavy coat year-round. No matter what caused the heaviness, God never intends His children to carry needless loads. But unlike Scout, shedding what burdens us will not happen naturally; we must take off what weighs us down. Springtime is here. What better time for a fresh start? Shed everything that keeps you from living the abundant life in Christ. To find rest for your weary soul, Jesus invites you to take His yoke and roll your burdens onto Him: “Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy ladened, and I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28).
