your yoke

Your yoke is what you offer me
is it a yoke of slavery
of course it's not, you must see,

A yoke is there to lighten the load
life as we know it is a long tough road
and so some help is what we need.

And that's really what you always give
a helping hand to help us live
victorious partnership,without yield,

So take the yoke, i must, we will
both up and down and up the hill
two together plowing the field.

energy

where do we find our energy? we can see it in the obvious things...food, exercise, happy moments, and more.

but is there more to it? is there something deeper? can we find energy to live our lives fully outside of these basic things.

yes, we can. but the key is looking for it outside of our natural bodies. we have to look for it from somewhere bigger.

the true energy source is when that bigger person has been united within us. sounds weird right? well, it is. and its something that's not fully understandable. but it is still undeniable.

when we find our energy by the power of our change in identity, that's when we will have energy for life. when we look deep and see how we have a new being within us from that day of giving ourselves up and becoming united in a bigger being, that's when we can live fully and not grow tired.

we can fast all we want, we can push through hard times when we have to, we can go beyond what is typically humanly possible...because we have a direct line to THE energy source and He is with us in a deeper way that we can ever imagine.

and that's the kind of energy that's really worth fighting for and letting everything go for.
