Blessed with a Burden

February 08, 2008 | Categories: Archive

What is it within you that just aches? I'm not referring to what you see a physical therapist or doctor for. This kind of aching just won't go away. It's the type of aching that screams out "Somebody needs to do something about this!" You just can't get rid of it but you also have trouble helping other people to feel that same ache or burden.

This Sunday, we're talking about Blessed with a Burden. What is it that God has given you a burden for? Maybe the better question is: Whos is it that God has given you a burden for? Is it single moms, orphans, homeless, or maybe your heart burns and is bothered by the fact that people in Africa don't have access to clean water?

God blesses us with these kinds of burdens so that we will be the agent of change in the world. But, how do we we get to where our burden becomes a blessing for others? How do we get started on this journey that God has blessed us with?

I hope to give you several things this Sunday morning that might help you discover your burden, what to do with the burden, and how to motivate others to join you in taking this burden and making it a blessing to the world.
