God, my shepherd! I don’t need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction. - Psalm 23:1 (MSG)

*[Alt. When I taste your goodness, I shall not want.]

*[Alt. Come to me all you burdened beneath a heavy yoke. Take my yoke and put it on, it fits so well on you and you will have peace of mind, body and spirit. Matt 11: 28].

When I come to Jesus - and keep coming - He takes away our burden of sin. But the life burdens he deals with differently. As I understand scripture and mainly the teachings of Jesus, Paul, James and Peter - and based on my life experience - he does not take them away! Rather, through the yoke He teaches us to carry and bear the load (our cross) and learn from life and also thereby, to have compassion on others and invite them, as a fellow "burden-bearer" - to "yoke up to Jesus". The Lord is my Shepherd...
