This will resonate with some of you reading these words. You don’t ever want to be a burden to anyone, so you suffer silently and alone. Sometimes, you even think that telling God would make you a burden.

The lie from the pit of hell is that you are alone in your suffering. The lie is that you are a burden and no one needs or wants to know about your ailments or afflictions or griefs. The devil wants you keep you isolated and by yourself.

The truth of the matter is that in the body of Christ, no one is a burden. We are actually commanded to bear each other’s burdens, so by keeping yours to yourself, you might be depriving someone else of the joy of sharing your load.

The reality is that every one of us is flawed and broken. We all have scars. We all carry griefs and sorrows. We weren’t meant to carry those alone but in context of community.

Above all, Jesus invites us to cast our cares on Him because He cares for us. That’s where the real healing comes from. That’s where the real peace comes from. You are not a burden to Jesus. He wants you to bring anything and everything to Him.
