It's interesting that we've been talking about being there for each other in my youth group. I've even been a part of preaching one of these messages. Yet I find myself bearing all my burdens. You know, Jesus bore the sin burden. He died. The burden of sin and the pain that went with it literally killed Jesus on the cross. Yet somehow we keep breathing. We keep breathing because we can share our burdens. Jesus couldn't really share that burden with anyone. There is only one Messiah and only He could bear that burden. He died. When we feel alone and we have burdens, it eats away at us. We start getting down, tired, grumpy, whatever your reaction is and I guarantee it's bad. There have even been studies done with children. Some were given milk and taken care of, but had no emotional interaction. Provided for, but not invested in. The other group was also provided for, but also had some play time with their caretakers. Provided for and invested in.
