The famous poem “Footprints” reminds us
that in life’s most difficult seasons, Jesus does not abandon us; rather, at
the times we are unable to go on, He picks us up and carries us.
We are amazed by the picture of a
burden-bearing Savior. He took our sins upon Himself so that we might have
freedom. He takes up our shame so that we are no longer hindered by it. What
other burdens have never landed on our shoulders because He would not allow it?
What other burdens has He taken upon Himself rather than letting them fall to
us?
Whatever is loading you down today, you
need to carry it no longer. Jesus will scoop the weight in one arm and put His other
arm around your tired shoulders. Gently He’ll remind you that it is for these
very things that He sacrificed His life.
Today, feel Him removing the weight of
burden and holding you near.
