Yolk is Easy and Burden is Light 10/17/16

The verse in Matthew 11:30, finally made sense to me.
When I think of life as Christian, it is so difficult and frustrating to go against your flesh and blood, always fighting and putting up a guard.
But this week I tasted and experienced this verse come alive.
I believe His yoke is easy and His burden is light, when our appetite changes. When my desire to not want to sin heightens and my burden of doing God's will decreases, it's easy to resist sin and it's difficult to go against God's will. I think the secret here is transformation.
I worked twice as hard and studied twice as hard. The circumstances were actually against me. But what was for me was the power of the spirit. In John it says flesh gives birth to flesh and spirit gives birth to spirit. Since the Holy Spirit was working in me, although the circumstances were against me, I was able to firsthand experience spirit giving birth to spirit. His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

This still holds. When you adore and look at someone with affection. Things aren't tedious any longer. Preparing for cell group, praying long hours, it becomes easy and the burden is light.
