To Be...Laden
December 26
Earlier in the month we had our BIG snowstorm, Diego. My favorite tree is the magnolia tree and we have a very large one in our yard. Looking out the weight of the snow almost had her branches touching the ground. I thought, "She is laden with snow!" Laden is defined as "heavily loaded or weighted down."
What are you laden with right now? Take it to Jesus!
Isaiah 1:4 takes us back in history to learn from the Israelites. Bless their hearts, their sin issues have been recorded for all to read throughout time. What if ours were posted on Facebook for all to read as they popped up. UGH
"Ah, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, children who deal corruptly! They have forsaken the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they are utterly estranged."
There is nothing we, ourselves, can do to rid ourselves from sin. What we can do is fall on our knees confessing our need for a Savior, an Atoner, and praise His name for making the way for our sins to be forgiven! Amazing grace is such a gift!
Then we can rest and breathe a sigh, knowing as those sins continue to pop up we can go to the Lord and lay them and all our other burdens down. Hallelujah!
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
Christmas day 2018 may be past but Christ is right here with us.
Please take time to listen to this song and remember how Jesus came!

It is a gift from God to be able to receive Christ as our Savior and God's amazing grace.
