Of course! Here is the edited translation:
We were not created to go through life carrying heavy burdens that weigh us down.
Fortunately, we don’t have to.
“All you who are weary and burdened, come to Me and I will give you rest. Take My teaching and learn from Me, for I am gentle and submissive, and you will find rest for your souls. Because the teaching that I give you is light, and the burden that I put on your shoulders is not heavy.
Matthew 11:28-30 UMT
When Jesus came to earth, He took our burdens upon Himself. Even when we were far from God, Jesus took the punishment for our sins and endured our suffering. And thanks to this, we have a Savior who understands us and sympathizes with us.
This Savior meets us in our mess and invites us to find peace in Him. This Savior is God with us.
“Blessed be the Lord! Day by day, He carries our burdens, God, our Savior!”
Psalms 68:19 UMT
King David wrote this psalm hundreds of years before Jesus came. But even then God was showing people that His character is constant and He is reliable.
God protected Noah when the earth was flooded (Genesis 8:1) and made a covenant with Abraham to bless, protect, and multiply his descendants (Genesis 17:4-7). He cared for the Israelites as they wandered in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 2:7) and comforted David when the people tried to kill him.
God has never failed to be true to His essence. He is our constant help in times of need. He is our source of strength. He is our Comforter and our Advocate. The God David praises in Psalm 68 is our God. He is the One who constantly cares for us, stooping down to meet us in our mess and bring us out of our brokenness.
He carries our burdens every day.
Will we still face difficult circumstances? Yes. But we never have to go through them alone. The savior of the world is near. God is with us.
