Cast your Cares

I am looking for a little inspiration today. It is a bit dreary with the non stop rain. But it too is a message.

With the terrible things happening in the world today, we have to hold to the promises of Jesus. The righteousness will come to those afflicted. Cast your cares on him today, because his yoke is light.

I read an article in Catholicanswers.com that the rigid rules of the Jewish law originated from Moses to reach heaven. Jesus came to lighten the load so you didn’t have to bare the burden. 

“Galatians 2:16 has nothing to do with the Catholic belief that good works and receiving the sacraments are necessary, but not sufficient, for salvation. Deciding who spends eternity in heaven remains entirely the prerogative of our loving Creator, who has given ample guidance to the faithful. Our Protestant brothers and sisters have been misled about the meaning of the text, so let us gently show them their error (2 Tim. 2:25).” 

So I interpret this as...We are all one body of believers in Christ. Your way of worship is not better than mine. In the end, it comes down to how we love God and one another, not how we worship.  God decides on judgement day, who is worthy of entering His kingdom.
