“Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

A friend is going through some very difficult family struggles. We’ve all been there. One thing is true throughout history is that everyone has a mind and makes choices that will inevitably hurt someone else along the way. However unintentional, or many times intentional, the pain is very real. In times like these we have a very simple faith decision to make. Do we believe in God’s promises or would we rather live with the struggle?

Jesus Said, Come To Me, Let Me Carry That Burden For You.

This promise from Christ is indeed thought provoking, and a compelling promise from God. I took Him up on this promise years go and started turning over to Jesus all the burdens which I cannot solve on my own. Some days that list is rather long. I promise you, Jesus won’t mind how long your list is. He made a promise and He will fulfill it. You simply have to trust that He will.
