Some Things We Just Have to Carry
Some Things We Just Have to Carry…
“Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." - John 5:8
The story of Jesus healing the paralytic is a little different from the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, found later in this same Gospel.
Lazarus, when he came out of the grave was able to remove his burial clothes and in a sense get a completely fresh start. The former paralytic was given the strength to carry his mat.
Some of us have done things or had things done to us that can’t be erased or forgotten. Some burdens can’t be left behind or abandoned. We can’t pretend they never happened.
Some things we just have to carry. The good news is that God will give us the strength to carry them, if we have to.
We don’t have to stay stuck. No matter our yesterdays, starting today, God equips, empowers, and inspires us to move in to the future that God is unfolding before us.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
