My daughter wanted to carry the bag with the candy and everything else in it, so I warned her that the bag is heavy and it's a long walk to the car, but she wanted to do it on her own.So she began her journey. Taking short steps. Switching arms. Growing more and more frustrated with each step…….until finally she realized that the burden is too much for her little body to handle on her own.
The Book of Matthew in the Bible records a statement from Jesus.
Matthew 11:28 - "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
We all want to carry the bag.
Pride tells us we can do it all by our self.
Truth reveals that we can't.
I love what my daughter said to me when she had enough. "You can carry it now, Daddy."
I was happy to. She is my child.
I specialize in taking care of her needs…….she just had to let me help her.
You are no different.
I wonder if anyone reading this has found that life's burdens are too heavy. You started off wanting to carry your own bags but lately it has become to much to handle on your own.
You need to know that there is someone right beside you who would be delighted to take that bag for you.
He specializes in taking care of His children's needs.
May today be the day you say, "You can carry this now, Jesus"
