Do you wake up in the mornings burdened by a mistake or incident of the pass? And even though you have prayed about it and let it go you pick it up again? Now the burden of your past is the burden of your present? Yep, I am familiar with the feeling. Now it is time to let it go.
I learned from the bible, that when God tells us to bring all our cares and cast them upon Him, He does not want us to take them back up. They will only way us down. He cares for you and I, so He gives us His yoke and takes our burdens. How do we leave our burdens there? Simple, as we give Christ our burdens, we start to learn from Him. He teaches us what to do when satan comes around to remind us of the past, how to trust in His words and how to keep from making the same mistakes again.
Christ went to calvary for every one of our sins. He took the beating and the shame so that we would not have to. So, when you and I mess up, Christ paid for that, so we don’t have to relive it every morning we wake up. What He wants us to do is to live. Live in the freedom that He gives us. He says, confess your sins, forgive, and live. Go about life like you are a new person. Sit down, have a cup of tea and enjoy the moment. Someone has taken your burdens and is giving you rest, peace, faith, hope, and love. Use them to live.
