Lightening Your Load

Greetings to all.  On this “hump” day, Wednesday, let us reflect on the things weighing us down and do a burden dump, lightening our load.

The heavy things we carry in life do not always feel heavy at first. However, they eventually become burdensome, turning into weighty obligations. When it comes to burdens, both physical and emotional, even something that seems minor at first can grow into something overwhelming if left unchecked. That is why the sooner we address what weighs on us, the lighter we will feel.

Matthew 11:28 (GW)

28 “Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.

Lesson: God delights in carrying our burdens, inviting us to trust Him with our struggles, big or small. As we are able, it is okay to give them up one by one; the important thing is not to wait until they are too heavy for us to manage.
