Burdens

I don't know about you, but sometimes i feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders, or at least the weight of my little world. Life can get so stressful and at times it just feels like we've got so much laying on our shoulders that we can't move any direction. It's a tough place and sometimes we just need to be reminded that if we lay our burdens at Jesus' feet, he will gladly pick them up and carry them.

Lay em' Down

by: Needtobreathe

Come down to the river

come and let yourself in

make good on a promise

to never hurt again

if you're lost and lonely

you're broken down

bring all your troubles come lay em down

All you sinners

and the weak at heart

All you helpless

on the boulevards

wherever you are now

whatever evil you've found

Bring all your troubles

and come lay em down

we're all tied to the same old failings

finding shelter in things we know

we're all dirty like corrupted small towns

We'll bring our troubles

we'll bring our troubles lay em down

All you rich men

and high above

all those with and without love

all you burdened broken down

bring all your troubles

come lay em down

lay em down

lay em down

No matter where we come from, no matter what we've gotten ourselves into, we can bring ourselves and our burdens right to the feet of Jesus. I love the redemption there is in Christ. No life is too bad, no crime so bad that our father won't forgive us. Jesus throughout the Bible steps out and ministers to the unwanted, the lonely and the wicked. He didn't turn his back on them and he won't turn his back on you.

I encourage you today, to take some time and sit at the feet of Jesus. Sit and feel the grace and forgiveness that flows from his hands and feet, the hands and feet that were nailed to a cross so that WE could be forgiven.
