Weariness comes with being human. We fill our schedules too full. We run out of energy. The demands on our time overwhelm us. We get a bad night’s sleep. We succumb to the common cold germ. Burdens come with being alive. We have responsibilities. People make demands of us. We all have—to one degree or another—an awareness of our own sin, of the hurts of those around us, of the needs of the world. But if we are weary and burdened because of what we are doing for the Lord, we are not yoked to Him. Those who walk in the Lord’s strength as they serve Him should have no need to complain. Because His yoke is light. Those who seek to produce for God by their own efforts will encounter frustration and disappointment. They will grow weary and feel burdened. God does not burn people out! Are you serving where God wants you to serve? Remember that He does not reward our duty; He blesses our relationship with His Son. Keep that relationship with Jesus your priority as you serve God. Matthew 11:28
