Heavy Load

05/07/2005

I don’t know what has been happening with me lately, but it seems that the Lord has been at work in me. When I used to hear of other people’s hardships, I would usually offer a prayer and go on with things…but lately the Lord has really given me a burden for other people. I have shed tears on many occasions in the last few months for other people, and that is something that is definitely NOT from me. I know that in myself I can be cold and uncaring, but in Him I am finding tenderness and genuine concern. I am glad that this is happening (as un-manly as it may seem). I know that the Lord is at work, and that makes me exciting.

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” -

I’m so glad to see you growing in your faith, Vin. The Lord is truly working in you and giving you lots of grace by bringing you closer to him. Compassion isn’t un-manly at all. It is Christ-like and as we all know He was the best man ever. I mean He is the only man who ever gets a capital H at the beginning of the word he. That’s pretty manly, eh?
