Men, you are not a burden

I read an article recently that one of the reasons why individuals fail to open up about their struggles and challenges is because they do not want to be a burden on anyone. But did you know that keeping your issues to yourself, weighs you down, physically, mentally, and emotionally and stops you from actually dealing with the problem.

We were not created by God to be weighed down by our problems and to carry our burdens throughout our life span. There is a wonderful promise from scripture in John 10:10 that Christ’s purpose for our lives is that we may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].

Friend, there needs to come a time this year, where we need to lay down our burdens once and for all. Your back cannot withstand the load any further. Why are you allowing your body to slow down by saying that you are a burden? What happens to a plane when it is overloaded with suitcases. Yes, you guessed it. The plane goes down.

Commit this year to tell yourself that you are not a burden. You have giftings and talents that could bless those around you enormously

Let’s make a good start to 2022, by letting go of pride, and allowing God to shoulder our burdens with us. He can handle it. You are not a burden. You’ll start to feel lighter, you’ll start to stand up straight because you're not being weighed down and you'll make a start to your recovery and restoration.

For he will rescue the needy when they ask for help! He will save the burdened and come to the aid of those who have no other help. Psalm 72:12
