“For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:30 AMP

Christianity was never meant to be hard. Sure, some of the decisions we have to make at times can certainly be difficult, especially to our flesh, but Jesus’ call has always been simple, “Follow me.”

Christianity is about surrendering our lives in favor of His life! Surrendering our sin in favor of His forgiveness! Surrendering our inability in favor of His grace!

It’s about positioning ourselves to receive what He has provided for us! :) 

That’s awesome news! Granted, it doesn’t sit well with our flesh, wanting things outside the parameters of the Word of God and it doesn’t always sit well with our minds if they haven’t been renewed to the Word of God.

However, this can be remedied easily through surrender. The key to living a prosperous life in Jesus is surrender. :) 

Listen, when we truly get a revelation of how much God loves us, of how good He truly is, we will want to surrender our lives to Him! We will want Him to get into every area of our life, every room in our hearts! 

Christianity is easy peasy, so long as we surrender to Him! By so doing this, we are saying, “God I trust you!”

Easy doesn’t mean we will never face hardships or trials or storms or even be asked to suffer for His name’s sake. Easy means when we choose to surrender to Him, He gives us the grace and strength to overcome ANYTHING that may arise! 

Listen, even Stephen in the Bible, when he was being stoned to death for his stance for Jesus, was said to have peace and he simply fell asleep! 

The way of the sinner is hard. The way of man-made religion is hard. Christianity is easy.

Follow Him. Trust Him. Obey Him. He is for you, not against you! :) 

He has given us His Spirit, His name, His authority, His grace, His strength, His peace, His Word, and so much more! 

He has given us Himself!

Our response: I surrender all! 

In Christ,
