If you’d prefer, here’s the lyrics.

I only just watched that video.
It still has me reeling.

We all want to live, but most of us (including myself) are confused on how to truly live.

We all have our burdens and our obstacles.
Yours are different than mine, but they’re still there.

However, the biggest difference lies in what we do with those obstacles and burdens.

We have three options: try and handle them ourselves, remove ourselves, or give them away.

Option 1 - Try and Handle the Burdens Ourselves
This is what most of the world does - and I do it too.
After all, we’re strong human beings right? We can do it!

This often leaves us exhausted, lost, and pushing in the wrong direction.

Option 2 - Remove Ourselves from Our Burdens
This leads to flight, apathy, or even suicide.
All are poor choices, but hey, I’ve done those too.

Option 3 - Give Our Burdens Away
Believe it or not, this is the hardest choice to make.
Without realizing it, we cling to our burdens and endear them to ourselves.
I do that every day.

I take pride in my strengths.
Those strengths ultimately become my downfall.

I believe I can take care of them myself, and I just keep getting knocked back down that hill.

There is one who will take those burdens, block out the obstacles, and carry us up the hill.
Yes, his name is Jesus Christ.

Before you run off and ditch this “Church crap,” think for a moment.

What would you do if someone offered to take all of your burdens?

That would be the greatest gift in the world.

Guess what, someone has - Jesus Christ.

Here’s where things get harder, for a time.
We have to give up our burdens.
We have to place our trust in him.

Giving up everything is difficult, but the return is incredible.

…
Yeah.
That was a horrible rant.
but.
Think about it.

What if you could get rid of all your burdens?

Would you do it?

You can, all you have to do is ask…
