Topic: Burdens
Henry Moorhouse, an English evangelist in the 1800s was feeling loaded
down with the burdens of his ministry. Then the Lord gave him a tender
reminder of His care.
When he came home one day, his young daughter, Minnie, whose legs were
paralyzed, was sitting in her wheelchair. He was going to take a package
upstairs to his wife when his daughter asked if she could carry it.
Moorhouse said, "Minnie dear, how can you possibly carry the package?
You cannot even carry yourself."
With a smile on her face, Minnie said, "I know, Papa. But if you will
give me the package, I will hold it while you carry me." Moorhouse saw
this as a picture of his relationship to God and the burdens of ministry
he was carrying. But praise God, he could proceed with confidence,
knowing that the Lord was carrying him. God has asked us to allow
Him to carry our burdens-an us! Isaiah 46:4 says, "I will carry you!...
Even I will carry, and will deliver you." Ask our gracious Savior to
help you and He'll not only take your burdens, but carry you as well!
