Matt 11:28 Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I
will give you rest.
Matt 7:9 Or what man is there among you who, when his son
asks him for a loaf, will give him a stone? (10) Or also
when he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent ? (11) If
you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father who is in the
heavens give good things to those who ask Him!

The Lord is waiting to give you the heavenly joy and peace.
The question is whether or not you are willing to take His
yoke and learn from Him. You have not received the Lord's
blessing and His blessing still has not flowed to others
through you because you are still unhappy with His demands.
The Lord said, “My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Brothers and sisters, do you believe in this word? Those who
do not know God will say that God is harsh, that He reaps
where He has not sowed and gathers where He has not
scattered. But those who know God will say that His yoke is
easy and His burden light.

But the strange thing is that many of God's children are
afraid of hearing about His will. They can sing hallelujah
when they hear about God's love, wisdom, and power. But they
are afraid to hear about God's will. What happened with our
Lord? He did not call God's will His will; He called it
“well-pleasing in Your sight.” To the Lord, all of God's will
is well-pleasing. Brothers and sisters, we have to believe in
God's love. We have to believe that He loves us. This will
put our heart at ease no matter what we encounter. Many times
we ask for fish, and it seems that God has given us serpents.
We ask for bread, and it seems that God has given us stones.
We ask why God has given us a serpent when we asked for fish,
and why He has given us a stone when we asked for bread. But,
many times, when we think that we are asking for fish, we are
actually asking for a serpent. What God gives us may look
like a serpent, but it is actually fish. Many times when we
think we are asking for bread we are actually asking for a
stone. What God gives us may look like a stone but it is
actually bread. We often think that God has not answered our
prayer. We think that God does not love us. Actually, He is
giving us the best thing. Our God is never wrong. The trouble
is that many people do not believe in God's love. We need to
remember that God causes heartbreaking things and
difficulties to come upon us because He wants to perfect us
and give the best things to us, not because He does not love
us. If we believe that everything is well-pleasing in God's
sight, we will sing with tears in our eyes.
