Your burdens are too heavy for you to carry, leave them at the alter for Me…By: Tessy
During church service this morning a gentleman gave a Word from the Lord, "Your burdens are too heavy for you to carry leave them at the alter for Me." That Word just bothered me. How can a slave just do that and leave their burdens at the alter never to be picked up again?
Lord, please, I need a clear direct Word from You. I picked up a book given to me, "Come Away My Beloved" a compilation of Words from the Lord given to Frances J Roberts. My eyes fell on, "Thou dost not need to carry thine own load, for I will be happy to help thee carry it and to also bear thee up as well. Thou dost not walk alone nor meet any situation alone, for I am with thee, and I will give thee wisdom and I will give thee strength, and My blessing shall be upon thee."
I couldn't read anymore through the tears. The Lord just gave me a direct Word and comfort. Thank you, God! (Second hand Words from the Lord can be just as personal and direct as first hand.)
I went back to read the rest. "Only keep thine heart set upon Me and thine affections on things above; for I cannot bless thee unless ye ask Me and I cannot answer if ye do not call, and I cannot minister to thee except thou come to Me."
After morning church, I came home by myself this time and decided to have communion with the Lord, in thankfulness that He answered my request for a personal Word. I used milk to represent the Blood (wine) and cookies to represent the Body.
They were delicious, but bad mistake. My mind wasn't on Christ, it was on how I can make better cookies, and how I can best dip my cookies into my milk. I have learned not to do my will, but God's will; because He knows my weaknesses and His ways are way better than my ways.
