Not long ago I was typing out a word for a sweet woman of God who has been going through some major difficulties. As I wrote, I heard the word wait and was going to spell it that way, when the Lord corrected me and He said spelled it “weight”. I was apprehensive about the word yet obedient in sending it. I was curious about the word in that message and as I meditated on the message and word for the next few days. I began to feel His smile of Joy as His word was unraveling in my heart and mind. If we are weighted down by our circumstances – big or small - our freedom of movement is hindered, slowed down. Very similar to trying to walk through a pit of mud. Jesus said He will carry our burdens. Yes, we have natural emotions according to our circumstances and the stages of healing. But when we are in continual communion He carries that weight for us. So, every time it swings back to knock you down, drop at His feet and feel His embrace, taking one breath at a time. Imagine with me for a moment; a large beautifully colored hot air balloon filling with air attached to a large basket for passengers still on the ground. It remains on the ground even though it has a huge pocket of air captured inside it. The balloon, ready for lift off even though tethers are tied to the ground and several sandbags surround the basket holding the weight of that balloon down. As we give each tether and sandbag over to Him, who desires to carry them so we have freedom to rise above, We begin to float higher and higher. That is our Hope floating above our past, present, and future circumstances. His word fills us with that Hope. He knows our future, He knows our potential and He will accomplish much in us and trough us. Christ carries our burdens just as he carried our sin to the cross and it was... All worth it! vjb
