Jesus told the Twelve that they would have crosses to bear, but He did not come to place a heavy burden on anyone’s shoulders. Little things matter to the Lord, like ordinary hunger and thirst. According to the Pharisees, Jesus’ Disciples could not lawfully pick heads of grain to eat as they walked along on a Sabbath day. The Lord allowed their snack. He also taught that reward would come to anyone who saw a Disciple and offered a cup of cold water to drink. On the other hand, Jesus disapproved of people who beheld miraculous works but failed to see their need to repent. Jesus praised the heavenly Father for wisdom that only the childlike can grasp. Children like to hold favorite things in their hands. When we feel burdened, do we consider that God may want us to let go of what weighs heavily and hold on to something more precious?
