Regularly Re-evaluate Commitments

Come to Me,all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened,and I will cause you to rest.Matthew 11:28.
Jesus wants to give us rest.He invites us to come and perhaps,He wants to give us an opportunity to reevaluate our commitments.He wants us to find out what is not necessary and get rid of it.Whenever we find our life has lost the simple flow it should have and instead,has become burdensome and heavy,we should take those weights to Jesus.Life was not meant to make us feel dragged down and weary.We are God's children bought with blood and we are entitled to peace and joy through this.
Things in life are always changing and shifting.In order to grow,we must change also,and our commitments must change to match the changes happening in our lives.
We often forfeit many blessings God has stored up for us because we are not willing to reevaluate commitments and cut out things that God is finished with or are no longer bearing fruit.Much of the time it involves sacrificing our ways for God's way.God does not ask us to do something that won't eventually make our lives better.
