About
the burden of emotional pain…
Mark
14:72 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then Peter remembered the
word Jesus had spoken to him: "Before the rooster crows twice you will
disown me three times." And he broke down and wept.
Emotional
pain is the scourge of the heart and soul. Emotional pain eats away at our
humanity. Emotional pain is a burden taking away the quality of our life and
most assuredly our emotional pain weighs us down. When we are burdened by our
emotional pain we need to lighten the burden. When we hurt, we need a way to
take some of the weight off our heart and soul. There is a way to lighten our
burden of emotional pain. The way to lighten our load is to tune into the upward
pulling force of Jesus.
If
you let Him, Jesus is always pulling upward upon your heart. If you let Him,
Jesus is always pulling upward upon your burden. Jesus, in His love, is always
pulling your burden upward toward Heaven. Jesus is now with you and He is now
supporting you, guiding you, and giving you hope as He pulls you upward.
In
our emotional pain, we need hope things will change. If there is one
supernatural ingredient Christ brings to all of us in our pain, it is hope.
Jesus did not come to our world to push you down but to pull you up. Now, take
your emotional burden and hold your burden out to Him. Hold your burden out so
His light and love can shine into your heart. As you hold your burden out in
front of you, watch as Jesus comes and places His healing hands of power upon
your hurt…and see His light and love pulling your emotional hurt over to
Him…lightening your load, lightening your burden, and lightening your pain.
