The sin in the world is great; the burdens are many; the pain is never-ending, and the sufferings of men, women and children are heartbreaking. We can only do what we can to help others in their distress. It is easy to become over burdened with the confusion of the nations, the pains of our loved ones and those around us. Sometimes things are so heavy that we do not even see the sunshine, or the flowers, or hear the birdsong. But, take heart! Jesus bore all this worlds agony, every bit of it. For you and for me. He took the weight of sin, the destruction of sickness, the evils of satan, and bore it in His own body. Death gives way to resurrection through Him.
If you are sad today, and have weights and shadows heaped upon you. Look to Jesus. He feels your pain and will help you through and bring you out into a place of peace if you trust Him. He won't let you down, and will lift you up again. He knows how to encourage the downcast; to befriend the lonely; and bring you into life everlasting, where there is no more death, tears, or loneliness. Don't carry it all yourself when there is someone who will carry it for you.
'For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.'
