First and foremost, this post is short and sweet.
Have you ever tried doing ways to help someone's burdens to feel ease?
Have you ever thought about how you can bear your burdens with ease?
Have you ever thought about praying for guidance and asking Heavenly Father to help you press forward as each day goes by?
Well, this post may help to answer your questions. This post is based on a April 2014 General Conference talk and it is called, "Bear Up Their Burdens with Ease" by David A. Bednar.
I would like to share with you some paragraphs what I liked as I was reading the talk and I hope you will learn something new.
The Strengthening Power of the Atonement.
Consider the Lord’s uniquely individual invitation to “take my yoke upon you.” Making and keeping sacred covenants yokes us to and with the Lord Jesus Christ. In essence, the Savior is beckoning us to rely upon and pull together with Him, even though our best efforts are not equal to and cannot be compared with His. As we trust in and pull our load with Him during the journey of mortality, truly His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
Not only does the Atonement of Jesus Christ overcome the effects of the Fall of Adam and make possible the remission of our individual sins and transgressions, but His Atonement also enables us to do good and become better in ways that stretch far beyond our mortal capacities. Most of us know that when we do things wrong and need help to overcome the effects of sin in our lives, the Savior has made it possible for us to become clean through His redeeming power.
But do we also understand that the Atonement is for faithful men and women who are obedient, worthy, and conscientious and who are striving to become better and serve more faithfully? I wonder if we fail to fully acknowledge this strengthening aspect of the Atonement in our lives and mistakenly believe we must carry our load all alone through sheer grit, willpower, and discipline and with our obviously limited capacities.
It is one thing to know that Jesus Christ came to the earth to die for us. But we also need to appreciate that the Lord desires, through His Atonement and by the power of the Holy Ghost, to enliven us not only to guide but also to strengthen and heal us."
