Never Overcrowded

OUR circumstances never determine our condition; but what we do with them does. Said a business man of the heavy pressure of a certain day's work, as he explained why he knew he was not quite up to par in the handling of it, “I don't mind being crowded, but I don't like to feel crowded.”
We can stand all the crowding that can be piled onto us if we let our Burden Bearer take all the pressure upon himself. Then we shall have none of the feeling of overpressure that always blocks one's highest usefulness. Our Master never feels crowded as he takes upon his own shoulders the heavy end of the yoke of the whole world. To be fairly overwhelmed with crushing circumstances while we are Christ's yoke-fellows is to find the heaviest and hardest things that can ever come to us only a part of the light burden that he guarantees.—Sunday School Times.
