Cathy and I went to a friend’s wedding some time back, and we had such an amazing time. After the bride and groom had exchanged their vows and the marriage ceremony came to an end, we were ushered into a beautifully decorated wedding reception to celebrate with the family.

Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Then come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine.

We just have to be willing to hand it over and share with Him. (more…)
