What’s weighing you down?

AMED 58.03 (1)

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | What’s weighing you down?

I left my car after a long trip, grabbed my bags, and realized that they were really heavy. Was it my fatigue, a sore back, or something else? When I started unpacking my gym bag, I realized it was heavy for another reason: a few large books were hidden in the bottom. Wow! I didn’t need those books, and I didn’t need a heavy burden.

Jesus once said, “‘Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.’” (Matthew 11:29, NIV)

I’ve counseled hundreds of people who carried around heavy burdens of guilt, shame, hurt, perfectionism, anger, and bitterness. God designed you to be light on your feet. Light in your soul and spirit. It’s time for you to get rid of all the garbage that is hindering you from experiencing the abundant life. Jesus made it so clear: “‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’” (John 10:10, NIV)

Life can be really hard, especially in 2021. Fires have been raging around the U.S. and the world. A good friend of mine is going through a divorce. Two of my other friends are in ICU with nasty cases of COVID-19. I really hate that virus, and so does God. I also don’t like the measures that so many governments have implemented. It seems our rights are being snatched away, but our peace…that can never be snatched away. Frustrations are temporary. Anger is momentary. Feelings are fleeting, but God is my rock. His yoke is light and easy. Don’t let the world make you crazy. 

You are a rock because you’re building your life on the Rock. Never forget that His commands and expectations are light and easy because you are a miracle. 

And I love you more than a fresh croissant.

    I hate this virus too. So many people suffering and families devastated. I am currently praying that I don’t have it again and that it’s just a cold. Stay safe and God bless all

    I love you, too Marc Goulet plus your staff and your ministry. Have a safe, relaxing, and blessed weekend. Here in the states, it is Labor Day weekend and we are to relax from our labors or try to because, as you know, some people still have to work. Grateful to all First Responders, volunteers, military personnel, doctors, nurses, and allied professional employees for doing their utmost to help others. Most of all, I’m grateful to God, our Creator, for giving us life, love, hope, and the ability to overcome.

    Thank you so much for your words Paul. You have been a leader and mentor for me the last year and really helped a lot, to not loose focus, but continue in faith, and never give up or in.
    I wish that you must have a good week and God bless you!
