Bearing Our Own Load with Grace

(1/2/26)More often than I’d like to admit, I do something really stupid. Last Friday, I had our devotional written and prepared and 100% got my mind on something else and forgot to send. So, here is Friday’s message, today…You ever feel like you have such a huge load or responsibility you find yourself ducking them or delegating them to someone else? I certainly do. But getting someone else to do them doesn’t change the fact you’re responsible for them. But when you take up the responsibility that’s in front of you instead of pawning it off, God’s Grace can help us tackle that list. Look, I get it, life is unfair most of the time in this wicked, ridiculous world we live in...but God is just. I always have the ability to choose how to respond to life’s curved balls and ridiculousness, and for that, I am held responsible by God. I may not be able to change the way people treat me or what happens in my life, but I most definitely can change the way I respond. I am responsible to God for my response. I/We resort to playing the blame-game when things don’t go our way, ever since the Garden of Eden, but we cannot dodge our responsibility and for that I have to give an account.As children of God, let’s choose to be more responsible this year. I need to, how about you? As Paul said, “For each will have to bear his own load.”Galatians 6:5 ESVBe Nice. Grace wins.
