Read 1 John 1:1 – 2:11. 1. In what ways have you been living in the darkness? 2. What have you done differently to live into the light? 3. What else might you do? 4. What is stopping you? Read Matthew 11:28-30. 1. John Wesley taught his followers to ask one another, “How is it with your soul?” So how is it with your soul? 2. In what ways are you weary? 3. How heavy is the baggage you’ve been carrying? 4. What pieces and parts can you give to Jesus? 5. What pieces and parts are you willing to allow Jesus to shoulder, to yoke with him, so He can lighten your load? 6. Ask God to help you lay your burden down at the feet of Jesus. Prayer for the Week: Jesus, help me give up my baggage, my stuff, the control I have held on to for so long. Help me to yoke up with you, allow you to shoulder the load, and give you the baggage I have clung to for so long. I thank you for the way you have worked and continue to work in my life. Amen.
