Load to Bear

Do you ever feel like you are carrying a load?  

Do you have a burden that you are carrying for yourself or for someone else?

Has it been hard to walk your faith journey lately?  Is God calling you to go too far, or to carry more than you feel you can bear?

Think about a woman who is carrying a child for nine months.  As the child grows, her load gets heavier, breathing is more difficult, sleep becomes something of the past, and life just gets more difficult.

Mary experienced all of that.  And in the end, God called her to go further...to walk a long, hard journey when she was already carrying a heavy load.

When you feel as if you can't walk another step forward, when you want to sit down and have a melt down, when you feel like this thing you are called to bear is just too much...think about Mary.

And remember, maybe, just maybe, you are carrying Jesus with you every step of the way.  Perhaps your burden will become Jesus to you or to someone else.  Perhaps you are carrying the Light of the World...walk on.
