The deeper our relationship with JESUS, the lighter our burden



1 Peter 2:19, 20
19 For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.
20 For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do well and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.

To endure sufferings is not a small thing or an easy thing. But with GOD, when we have our relationship with JESUS, HE makes this easy. The sufferings would seem nothing when JESUS holds our hand. Then we conquer those sufferings so that peace comes into our heart, and thereby, our faith strengthens, leading to fulfillment of our prayers


It is impossible to please GOD without faith. Faith moves GOD to do great things for us, to answer our prayers. 

That is why, JESUS says in Mathew 11: 28-30,
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

We should allow GOD to carry our burden; we can shift our burden to JESUS only when we are in a relationship with JESUS. The deeper our relationship with JESUS, the lighter our burden.
