Sometimes we carry what is not ours to carry: burdens, unforgiveness, people, debts, conversations, histories, responsibilities. You name it, we pick it up and take it with us thinking it’s our job to do so. What if relief, release, FREEDOM, were as simple as laying it all down, but more importantly, never picking it up again? What if we agreed at once and at last to let God carry what is God’s, and to only pick up what He gives back to us?
Let’s try laying it all down (even if we have to remind ourselves 100 times a day) and see what, if any, small thing He tells us to pick up again. Ah…Don’t you feel better already? I know I do. Amen.
