Imagine walking around every day with a bag filled with weights. No matter where you went or what you did, you would constantly have that weight on your shoulders. While eating, you would feel that weight, sleeping, working, spending time with your family, no matter where or what, that weight would be attached to you.
Maybe you are very familiar with this weight, but yours has a name. Your weight is called sickness, depression, need, loneliness, etc., and each day it seems a new weight is being added. Many have blamed God for this weight. They feel this burden is there because of Him when, in fact, He promises that His burden is light.
“For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:30
This is an awakening for you. Your burden is not from God. He has no desire to see you suffer or be burdened. Take this burden that you are feeling, the heaviness of the problems of your life, and exchange them for the easy and lightweight that God promises in His Word.
How do you release yourself from that burden? You can start right now by speaking to God. Let Him know all you are going through and ask for His unfailing relief. God will never let you down.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
