I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.
The Power of Being Well Yoked
"When husbands and wives are well yoked, how light their load becomes!" - Charles Spurgeon
This powerful image and message resonate deeply with the biblical principle of being equally yoked in marriage. The concept of being "well yoked" originates from 2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV): "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"
The Strength of Unity in Marriage
In marriage, being well yoked means walking together in faith, values, and purpose. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (KJV) reminds us, "Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."
When a husband and wife are aligned in their walk with God, they share the burdens and joys of life, making the journey lighter and more joyful. This unity is a powerful testimony to the strength and beauty of a godly marriage.
The Challenge
Let this image challenge us to examine our own relationships. Are we walking together in unity, supporting and uplifting each other as God intended? Ephesians 5:25-28 (KJV) instructs, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it... So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself."
As believers, let us strive to be well yoked, sharing the load and growing stronger together in Christ.
Reflect on these truths and embrace the power of a united, godly marriage. The lightness of the load when we are well yoked is a testament to the grace and strength that God provides.
