Given January 2011

Occasionally I get a revelation of something I’ve written about previously so I decided I would re-post on those topics and possibly add some new content.  From the summer of 2007 – “Holdng On”

A new picture I recently got of this is of the person carrying the heavy load in the post from 2007 having Jesus come up to them and making an offer, “Can I carry that for you?”  We know from the Bible that Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28).  Just like some people choose not to exchange their problems for what Jesus offers, they can’t seem to bring themselves to let Him carry their burdens.  1 peter 5:7 encourages us to, “Cast our cares on Him because He cares for us.”  Jesus is still making the offer, “Can I carry that for you?”  Let’s give it to him.
