February 22, 2009 - Change is Stressful

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Whenever I think about changes, nothing comforting comes from it. Why can't things just stay the same and we can remain happy with the things the way that they are now? But sometimes we want change because things aren't working out. That is when we realize that we are just plain confused, weak and weary. I, myself, know that there are things that require change in my life, most, if not all, of these things are things are not pleasing to God. But luckily for us, God gives us a choice: "do you want my help or not?" I feel so conflicted because deep down in my heart I know that I should be doing something productive, but instead I squander my time. In a way, I choose not to take God's yoke and learn from him and just run around by myself yoke-less doing whatever I want. Knowing this problem and not solving it, my soul is pained and conflicted. 

God save this foolish man that is Aaron Lam. I need your yoke and your guidence. Change me into a man who is worthy to lead your sheep. Change me into a man that will take your yoke and know that God, you have my back. 

Amen.
