Weighed Down by Complexity by rhuu

When you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, powerless to do anything:

“[D]o not worry. I know you do this a lot, because you cannot help everyone you want to. You must realize, you being you is enough…Your kind and gentle personality saved me, not to mention your spiritual side as well. You were kind of like a god-send to me in a way…do not be depressed because you cannot save the entire world. Just be happy that there are others like you to help you save others, just like you saved me.”

You being you is enough. Focus on what you can do, not what you can’t.

Pray for strength and peace

Begin in your homes

Love your family

Pour into the young

Pour into the elderly

Pour into everyone needs it

(Don’t we all?)

Listen with your mind, heart, ears wide open.

Handwrite a note for once

Remember the name of the woman who bags your groceries

The janitor at your school

Learn their story

Tell them yours

Get to know your neighbor across the street

Give a compliment to a stranger

Advocate for the last and the least

Share the Gospel

Embody your faith

Remember that Christ already took the weight of it all so you didn’t have to

He gives strength to the weary

Power to the weak

Do what you can

Leave the rest up to Him

You are enough.
