My beloved daughter,

I watched as you went about your day today.  I saw all the things you needed to do and your frustration as you tried to do it all.  I saw the worry, the guilt, the anxiety and the fear – the things you try to keep hidden. But I see your heart.  I see what concerns you and I care deeply about those things, too.  I am your Father.  And as your Father, I have a solution for days like today.  Come to Me with your weariness and your burdens 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 soul. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.  Let’s make a trade – your heavy burdens for My rest.  Let me care for you. 

I love you, My daughter.

Tara, I love this column so much. They are so well timed. This one especially just rested on my shoulders like a comfy blanket when I'm sipping hot cocoa.

Bless you for doing this. What a ministry!

Venus

Oh thank you for delivering this letter!
