My yoke is easy

"For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
NIV Matthew 11:30

Why are Your Children hiding, LORD?
Dressed so poorly in dirty clothes
Clinging to rags, man's religion
Following what man thinks he knows.

Didn't God make all Creation?
Wasn't Christ God's pure gift of Love?
But man makes chains; enslaves pure souls
With doctrine, dogma, fear, not Love.

God is True Light and Love and Life
Mercy and Grace with Purity
But clothes of doctrine, window shades
Hide and twist God's True Love, I see.

I believe just God's Holy Word
Listen to His Holy Spirit
Walk naked in Christ down God's Way
Christ sets us free! Let's not fear it.

He says, "For, My yoke is easy".

Very true.  Sometimes man does twist religion and deprave its true message.  Nicely done.

(sad sigh) Oh Newell, this is so sad but true, sometimes His love is always questioned by other men, but deep down as long as we believe in Him, we will find true happiness and rejoice to His compassion and warmth! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
