The phrase I've said most in life is this one, Lord, you've got me, and
I've meant it, and it works, works gloriously. His yoke is easy and his
burden is light. Why? Because he puts nothing on you.

On the contrary, you come to him and he will dump the world and its
troubles into your heart. You begin to care. I came to him all
unsuspecting.

I wanted salvation and found in taking it I wanted the salvation of the
world. At eighty-three I'm taking more and more projects upon myself,
world projects. And the more I take on myself, the more I'm taken over
by joy, by well-being, by inner excitement, by adventure, by growth, by
life.

His yoke is easy because his yoke is my yearning. It gives me the very
thing I'm made for, creative activity. When I surrender to him, it is
the same surrender a wire, unattached and non-creative, makes when it
surrenders to a dynamo, it throbs with light and power.

The same surrender which paint makes when it surrenders to an artist,
mere colour becomes a living picture. The same surrender which ink makes
when it surrenders to a writer, mere print becomes words that burn and
bless and enlighten. When you surrender to Christ, you surrender to the
most creative and dynamic person on this or any other planet.

You begin to be alive with his life, enlightened with his light, loving
with his love. You have surrendered to creativity, therefore his yoke is
easy, for you are made by the Creator for creation.
