Who has not a burden to bear in this world of burdens?
All men have some burden or another and they have the heaviest burden who
think that they have none to bear.
Do you ask me, reader, what I mean? Why, is not sin a
burden, unpardoned sin? What man has such a heavy load upon his back, as he
whose transgressions are not forgiven, whose sins are not covered as he, who
walks about with a burden on him which will sink him into the bottomless pit, if
he has it not taken off him? And yet, for the most part, those are the very men,
who do not feel the burden.
They don't see their sins, they don't see their danger. They
are full of earthly pleasure, their heart is as light as a feather. What do
such men know of the burden of sin? How can they value the Savior's words, "Come
unto me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest?"
(Matthew 11:28.)
Poor souls, may God have mercy upon them! May He open their eyes to see their sin! May He cause them to feel their burden, before they sink under it, never more to rise! May He show them the way to Jesus, that the burden that is upon them may be taken off, and all their sins be cast into the depths of the sea!
Poor souls, may God have mercy upon them! May He open their eyes to see their sin! May He cause them to feel their burden, before they sink under it, never more to rise! May He show them the way to Jesus, that the burden that is upon them may be taken off, and all their sins be cast into the depths of the sea!

Isaiah 1:18 ... Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Micah 7:19 ... He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Acts 3:19 ... Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. ❤
