Cast Your Burdens Unto Him

God lately has been reminding me of my early years of getting to know him. I’ve found myself remembering songs we used to sing at 6/7 years old. Today as I was reading Matthew 11. Verse 28 struck me so much because I’ve been in a difficult season, one I thought I would never find myself in but the word is keeping me afloat. I even remember the song by Joyous Celebration - You sent your word. There’s a verse that says “…my burdens were so heavy. I could not find no rest. But Jesus you came and you set me free…” and I realised that the burdens I’ve been carrying - some old, some new, have been so heavy because I failed to cast them unto him. So this scripture beloved, simply reminds us that we shouldn’t be carrying heavy burdens alone, when we have a Saviour who is willing to carry them for us. At first I thought to myself “but God you know all the T’s I’ve crossed and all the i’s I’ve dotted, and the Lord said that, “you can’t cast your burdens unto me, then still hold onto them. You can’t cast your burdens unto me then come back to fetch them and carry them on your own. When you cast your burdens unto me, let them go and I will carry them FOR you, not WITH you. Amen
