Heavy burdens vs God's burden

Luke 11:46
And He said, "Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

God has burden for us... however God's burden is easy... His yoke is light... religion loves to impose unnecessary hard burden on people and its really a form of godliness that seeks to impress... however when Jesus was on earth... He was upset with the religious leaders... they put burdens and added many laws and wrong burdens on the people and that bothered Jesus... We must be careful in our love and zeal for God not to become zeolous for activities laid by men and not God... we must discern what does God want us to be involve in and not just comply to everything... there are many things God may want us to do but it must come from the Holy Spirit and the peace of God... so some example of God's burden that is easy...

Luke 11:42a
But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God.

God wants us to know that His burden is always connected to bring justice in people's life and teaching people about God's love and compassion....

Compassion is being released when we know how much God loves people and how much He cares for them.... lets not be caught up with actitives and man made burdens that we become a pharisee... let us rather be a person who has compassion knowing how much God loves us and has compassion for people... He is patient and kind... abounding in compassion and love for lost people.
