For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 1 John 5:3

His commandments are not burdensome?  Did you know that?

No person can perfectly keep the Old Testament Law.  No one.  Not me.  Not you.  No one.  But, there is one who came to fulfill the Law.  His name is Jesus.  He became what we couldn't not.

Let go of the world's perfect.

Quit trying to follow all the rules.

We are commanded to love God and love others.  Simply that.

And that is not burdensome.
