On my heart today

I love how sometimes God lays scripture on your heart.  Scripture to lead and guide and direct you on your right path. Several months ago in a difficult time. I kept hearing and thinking on
2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2 (KJV)
 
This can be hard taking on another burdens and feeling the pain and heartache they feel within yourself. but God doesn't want us to be in misery always walking around feeling heartache.  Every time Galatians 6:2 was on my heart 1Peter 5:7 followed.
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)
 I had a visual in my head of walking around to others and taking their problems on myself.  Sharing their pain, heartache, and struggles bearing that weight then carrying it to the feet of Jesus and laying it down to him.  
 

I spoke up about this to my congregation at church and another lady said she could envision it just like we are taking up a wheel barrel full of problems and troubles and we are pushing it around when we are supposed to just dump it all out at his feet. That visual has stuck with me and today the same images keep rolling through my mind-leading me to the keyboard to share. 

we are supposed to go from ^^^^^^^ 
to this:
and when we are done casting our cares on him we are renewed and free from all the stress we were carrying around with us. 
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John 8:36(KJV)
 



People need to know that they are not alone that there is care and compassion around them.  In this modern age of texting, social media, and easy ways to connect we live in a world with higher than ever amounts of loneliness and depression.  So if you read this today just reach out to one person that is on your heart and on your mind and let that one person know that they are not alone that someone here on earth cares and if God lays it on your heart share a verse that might help them in their current situation follow through.  These small things on your heart are whispers of God to you, it's part of his communication to his children, and the more we listen the more he talks!
