Close to our church there is a major project taking place where they are adding another level to a parking structure. The reason it caught my attention is because of the size of the crane that is being used to lift the pieces into place. As soon as I saw the size of this massive crane and the weight that it effortlessly carried, I thought about my own burdens. Like you, I have burdens that I try to carry that weight me down and some days I would like to have a spiritual crane like this one to lift my burdens. However, I also know that there is no crane large enough or delicate enough to take care of my issues. They are Heart issues that come up from time to time and weigh me down. Sometimes it's my behaviour or my language or my thoughts or even my actions, and they don't line up with God's best for me so they become burdensome. I have tried in the past to take care of this myself, but it have been far less than successful. What I needed was someone to life the burden who knows me and knows how best to lift the weight and give me freedom. The apostle Paul spoke a lot about freedom in his letter to the Galatians and he says that it can and should be a part of our everyday Christian life.....and there is a solution. You have heard it said before but I'm going to say it again...."No one cares for you like Jesus!" His love is so great and his mercy is so endless that no matter what your burden....he is able to lift it and provide you with spiritual, intellectual, physical and emotional freedom. Whatever weight there is that is keeping you pinned down today, take it to Jesus and ask Him to rule your life! As owner of your life....He then has the right and authority to provide the very best for your life in Him. Trust Him, ask Him, allow Him to remove the difficult weight that is holding you back from His very best.
Looking skyward to see your burden lifted.
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
