This quote by George Müller, a great man of faith from the 1800s, resonated deeply with me. Likely due to the fact that I am that Christian who tries to carry my burdens. Somehow my pride convinces me that I can do it. I don't want to bother anyone else, so I will just "do it myself."
DUH!
It is only by the grace of God that I am even breathing! What on earth could I possibly do "myself?" Absolutely nothing. Just as the quote says, the more I try to carry on my own, the heavier each tiny little speck becomes.
Jesus beckons us, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
He wants to carry our burdens for us. He wants to give us rest. Not just a quick breather--but SOUL rest.
Lord, may I trust You enough to lay every burden at your feet. May I never dishonor You by proclaiming to follow You whilst trying to carry my own burdens. I confess, Lord God, that I am weak and full of pride. I lay my pride down, Lord. I come humbly before You and surrender my...everything to You, Lord. May my life bring glory to Your name. Amen.
