Some nights it hurts to remember. It hurts to remember the trials we have gone through, the loss that we face, the fact that every moment there are problems that are hard to face. Facing death, facing the worst. It hurts and can drag you down.
But here is the truth. We don't have to carry our burdens.
Cause the truth is, they aren't ours to carry.
We can't be afraid of losing people because they were never ours to have.
You can't not forgive someone because they didn't give you anything you didn't deserve.
You deserve pain, and ultimately death.
That is the state we are in.
But someone died to give you life.
He died so he could carry your burdens.
He died to give us life, to give us what we don't deserve, because he loves us.
I was going to try to say something inspirational or something to end this but I think the hymnwriter does it better.
"What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and needs to bear, what a privelidge to carry, everything to God in prayer. Oh what peace we often forfit, oh what needless pain we bear. All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer."
