“Johnny, don’t you think you have as much as you can carry?” said Frank to his brother who was standing with open arms receiving the bundles his father placed upon them. “You’ve got more now than you can carry.”
“Never mind,” said Johnny, in a sweet, happy voice; “my father knows how much I can carry.”
How long it takes many of us to learn the lesson little Johnny had by heart.
“Father knows how much I can carry.”
No grumbling, no discontent; but a sweet trust in our heavenly Father’s love and care that we shall not be overburdened.
“Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest to your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” Matt. 11:29, 3029Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:29‑30).
