[KJVWordofGod]

"This yoke may be easy, but this burden is not "....NOT biblical... M't:11:29: Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

M't:11:30: For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Does God honor him who dishonors God's word?

@KJVWordofGod I don't think he's disregarding Scripture. I think it's a difference in definition between 'easy' and 'light.' The human experience is that we endure suffering that is, simply put, not EASY, neither simple nor care-free. But that said, our burdens are light compared to the burden Christ bore to the cross on our behalf. That we bear a temporal burden, far outweighed by eternal glory far beyond all comparison (2 Cor 4:17) is LIGHT, but not always easy.

Please pray for me. I feel broken over infertility too. Five years of trying so far -- three miscarriages. Insurance won't pay for the treatments.

[vg2001gmail]

@wagglefam Praying for you. Keep your eyes fixed on Him. He is there, and He is not silent.

[Wratharri]

We had miscarriage today.... The silence can be so deafening! As if our Universe shattered in an instant. And we sit in the ashes and listen to the Silence of God, with a yearning to hear from him that is beyond baring . I hear 'the holy lonesome echo of the silence of God', and weep.

[vg2001gmail]

@Wratharri My heart breaks for your family. I originally put this video together because of our journey through infertility. Not the same thing as what you're grieving, but a shared understanding in part. I'm so sorry, and praying for you. If you think it'll help, I wrote a follow-up to the song, @ vangorden-vm.blogspot.com/2009­/08/silence-of-god-part-2.html­. The Father shattered His silence with the Man of all sorrows, Immanuel (God with us), and even if we don't hear Him, He speaks.

My belief is that god is never silent. He speaks to us in a quiet voice but its up to us to hear it. If you litsen closely, amd wait patiently, you'll hear his voice 3 beautiful song btw (: God Bless you all

[HisDaughter15]

This song...idk...it describes what I feel...? its a comfort to know Im not the only one who hears the silence...

[PrimevalHunter300]

@FantasticlifeinJesus Sometimes God is silent, doesnt mean he's not listening, but sometimes he tests you, sometimes he tries to get you to seek him more, whatever he does, he does for your benefit

[jokymz]

so beautiful. praise God for this song :)

[Dylan20121]

this is painful to listen to

[JediLuckySeven]

@wagglefam My parents had to wait nine years before they had my older sister. They had almost given up. Keep hoping.

@KJVWordofGod If you could just step down off that prideful, judgmental soap box of a self-imposed corrector or the Body of Christ for just one moment, you will plainly see that you've taken this song completely out of context. It's not about speaking YAH's Holy Word, it's about the lies the devil tells us when we're down.

I love your energy, commitment, and passion for YAH's Word, as that is rare, indeed, but it's misdirected at tearing down the Body of Christ rather than saving the lost.
