Share Your Burden(s)

Community is a blessing from God and a resource for our lives. God works through relationships. When we choose to hide our burdens, we carry the weight alone. However, when we uncover our burdens and reach for help, the weight is shared. Therapists, Doctors, Friends and Family are all God’s support system for you. They are there to share the load. Accept the help with open arms. This is how God heals and lightens our burden. 

We were not built to face life’s challenges alone. Choosing to share our burdens is not a sign of weakness. It is God’s will for us to share it with our community— family, friends or co-workers. This is why the Apostle Paul told the church to share our burdens. Too often, in order to maintain a façade, we keep our issues and struggle(s) to ourselves and the process toward relief is more painful. 

Today, remind yourself: I was not meant to carry the weight of life alone. Sharing my burden does not make me weak. God will show up through my relationships.
