Turn Over the Burden

How would you like to turn over the burden of living to Jesus?

What if it were God’s plan for Christ to express His life through you similar to flowing water empowering a turbine? What if God rejected the familiar man-developed plan of grading on the curve of world achievement for a new plan, a grace-filled plan—a pass/fail plan hatched in heaven by a unanimous vote of Three to zero? But, that’s getting ahead of the story.

Let me leave you to ponder a hint: The flesh is man’s best effort at facing life on his own—independently—and God makes it very clear in the Bible that He will not share His glory of grace with any man. It was His idea from the beginning, and He is convinced it is the very best way to demonstrate His amazing love.

"If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.’" — John 7:37b-38
