Luke 17:4---And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
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.
