Luke 4:40
“40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.”
No matter the ailment—spiritual, physical, emotional, mental—the Lord healed all those that came to Him that would be healed. Why did He do that? With His talents and abilities, He could have been anything, done anything, and to a perfection. We find an answer in Mark 10:45:
“45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
He went about doing good, to all, no matter the person’s personality, or status, or if they’d been kind to Him or not. He lifted burdens and made people whole. Our job, then, is to give Him our burdens. What makes you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, exhausted, or beyond your capacity to bear? Whatever it is, He’s felt it, lived it, and overcome it. But to release us from those feelings, we must willingly and consciously lay these burdens at His feet—through prayer, faith, and action—so the He can lift them as He knows best.
“28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
What is one burden you can release and give to the Savior?
Best,
Connie
