Burdens

While in prayer I "saw" a person with their arms full of burdens, more than they could possibly carry. They were very laden down with all manner of things, trying to walk and function in this state. They being exhausted decided to turn and cast everything over on the Lord. As they did, this mountain of burden turned into a speck as a grain of sand as it landed at the Lord's feet. The person's "mountain of burden" in comparison to what the Lord carries is as nothing.

Then I "heard": My burdens are light. Why do you insist on carrying on your shoulders the weight of the world? Cast your cares on Me, I will give you rest. My people you weary yourselves carrying things I never asked you to carry. Do you think you are helping or relieving Me? Trust Me, the tiny burdens you carry make NO difference in the load I carry. My job is to be your burden bearer not you being Mine. I have promised to carry your cares, so how about trying to give them to Me.
