So many times we carry around heavy burdens. My pastor once described burdens as having a suitcase,filling it up with rocks, and carrying it around. At the beginning, we are confident that we can carry our suitcase with no help because of our imaginary superpowers. But soon we become tired as the suitcase feels heavier and heavier. Often times, we do not ask for help due to our inability to be weak. So we tarry on. And on. And on.
But my dear beloved, that does not have to be the case.
In Matthew 11:28, Jesus says:
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest
Jesus longs for us to empty our suitcases at His feet and rest in His comforting arms. He died on a cross so that we do not have to bear our burdens on our own. His power and might are sufficient to take care of whatever problems we are facing.
Falling Up echos this verse in their song Good Morning Planetarium
Is anybody out there who's cold and incomplete?
I can hear Him calling
Come and follow me
I can hear Him calling
Come and follow me
The twilight turns to day, with all your love displayed
The stars they bow in awe, when the lost return to you
The stars they bow in awe, when the lost return to you
No matter how big your burdens are or how small, when you go to Jesus, not only is your load lighter but your day will also be brighter.
