A thought

from Max Lucado:

“Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.”
I Peter 5:7

God has a great race for you to run. Under his care you will go where you’ve never been and serve in ways you’ve never dreamed. But you have to drop some stuff. How can you share grace if you are full of guilt? How can you offer comfort if you are disheartened? How can you lift someone else’s load if your arms of full with your own?

For the sake of those you love, travel light.

For the sake of the God you serve, travel light.

For the sake of you own joy, travel light.

There are certain weights in life you simply cannot carry. Your Lord is asking you to set them down and trust him.


This really touched me ~ I spent a good chunk of time talking to April tonight (thanks for the chat girl!) but afterwards I found I had talked so much about myself and all my problems - how selfish am I!
I need to put all the worries and fears on to the Lord and trust in Him to show me the way through all of them! I love this verse from 1 Peter - knowing that the God that created this earth, made me, loved me enough to send his Son to die for even me - cares about my daily troubles - but how often do I think about Him! Stop thinking of me and more of Him!
