People have burdens, Americans have burdens, Africans have burdens, and Pastors have burdens. At one point during the pastor's conference, we asked the pastors to share their burdens so we could pray for them. Several shared out loud audibly and many more raised their hands asking to do so. Since so many wanted to share, we just invited them to come forward, kneel down before the Lord, and do some "burden casting." Probably 100 men came forward and began to call on the name of the Lord and cast their cares upon Him because of His great love for them. So many men wanted to quit, so many do not know how they are going to feed their family, and when your only means of transportation is your two feet or an old dinged up bicycle, things can get pretty wearisome. But God's promises are sure no matter who you are and what your circumstances are proving themselves to be. "Be anxious for nothing, but by prayer and supplication make your requests known to God with thanksgiving and He will give you peace." "Come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest." The enemy's #1 tactic is discouragement, but God's greatest gift is endurance to the end. We do not have to wait until we see Jesus for it to be worth it all. It's worth it all right now. Gaining Jesus in place of the world, is no sacrifice. Gaining Jesus in place of my slavery to sin is no sacrifice. Gaining Jesus is infinite reward. May these men endure in the days ahead as seeing Him who is invisible.
