HARNESSED

An ox will not walk straight without a harness holding him in place, however with needed constraints hitched on, great power is released for the good of others. I too, need a yoke to stay on course. I cannot fulfill my high calling unless I’m firmly harnessed to God’s commands. When we desert the law of love, depravity and chaos rule. “Love your neighbor as yourself” is not a helpful hint for being a nicer person, it is the royal command of our Creator and the only path to a life filled with divine purpose. I must be continually harnessed to the needs of others to accomplish God’s will. Father, You are Love. Of myself, I love poorly, but I desire to learn to let love govern my heart and ways. Your yoke of love is my guide.
