Carry His Yoke – Keep doing what is right. It is easier to believe in God or obey His commands when life goes smoothly for you than when you are sad, angry or depressed. It is truly a yoke to carry.

No wonder Jesus said: “Let the children come to me and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
