Previous Daily Devotional

You can carry a big bag of lead on your back for your whole life. However, who would want this? No one would want to walk around with a lead weight on their back for life. When you carry hurt, pain, grudges, slights, embarrassments, trauma, or any kind of hurt or pain caused by others, you need to let the burdens go. Carrying emotional burdens from your past is like carrying a lead weight on your back. Of course, getting rid of the emotional weight of your past is often not so easy to do. However, you can forgive. You can look at all the dark moments you carry on your back and let them go away...by forgiving. You can let go of what you think others think and you can let go of what others have thought about you in the past…by forgiving. You can let go of how you think you don’t measure up and you can let go of how you have felt you didn’t measure up in the past…by forgiving. You can let go of being afraid…by forgiving. You can let go of being embarrassed…by forgiving. You can let go of the unnecessary bag of garbage you carry…by forgiving. To let the burdens go, let Jesus help you. To let the burdens go, release the bag of garbage into Christ’s hands. To let the burdens go, let Jesus carry your weight. Jesus came to give you life. Jesus came to help you. Jesus came to lift your burdens off your back and He will do so if you are forgiving. So let it all go because letting all your burdens go is what Jesus wants you to do for Him…by forgiving.
