We often hear it said that God doesn't give us more than we can handle. Yet, life often dumps much more than we feel like we can handle in our laps. The issue becomes that we are forced to look inwardly to bear our burdens, and yet we cannot do it. There are some things for us that are too much to bear. Jesus has borne all our sins and sorrows. We are freed from our burdens of sin by Jesus. In the same way, we are to alleviate the burdens of others. As Jesus has carried our burdens, we are to trust others to help us in our need, especially those in our family of faith, and we are to bear their burdens as well. Knowing that one day, Jesus will take away all burdens from us, and free us to live with him for eternity in the new creation.
