What is that burden you bare for others?

Dear Steemians,

As we look back in the past years of our lives, even as we look about us now in the various experiences we have daily, what are some of the burdens of our lives? Or you are free from burden of lives?

One things is certain in our life; it is not death alone, but it is a that no matter how prosperous or poor we may be in life; or no matter how high or low intellectually or socially we may be placed; or no matter how well accepted or rejected in the society we may be, we will always discover that for the particular life of each of us, there is a burden from which cannot escape. I wonder if there is any man who ever goes through life and escapes life’s burdens. I have not escaped them. I do not think you that you have either.

• For many, your burden might be that of sickness. You have spent all you have get on medical care, but it has all been in vain. You have prayed day and night for God to hear you and restore to you your normal health; but your prayer seem unanswered yet. You have wished that death should relieve you of this great burden of your physical incapacity (or shall I call it bodily woe) but He has not answered yet. What must you do? You must not drown yourself because you are sick. To do that is to commit an unforgivable things to yourself. You must not hang yourself, is not the way out as some have done, because they are sick and recover yet at their expected time. You must continue to have hope and good mind that you will get well and recover back fully. Remain positive with yourself, He will restore unto you the health that your body and mind desire. He will keep you safe throughout the days of your sickness.

• For others, it is the burden of heavy financial responsibilities. These is a man whose heavy burden is about how to take care of the extended family- the brothers, the sisters, the mother, the father, the uncle, the aunts, the cousins and so on and so forth, all of whom depend upon him for sustenance. Should he go and steal because he wants to meet his burden? To do that can lead to death. Should he drive his family away and refuse to sustain them in their hunger? To do that is to fail to carry out his God-given commitment. What then must he do? He must pray hard, work hard and believe things will work out for him, of a truth this burden is too much for him to carry. But he must figure out ways to handle this situation and how to meet all his financial burdens.

There are others whose financial burden presents a picture of pity. They earn a living but it is not sufficient for them. There are still others who are unemployed and who pray every day that God will send manna to them from the blue skies. The manna never comes. You don’t have site and fold arms and expecting manna falls down for you, never possible. Make a move to find manna for yourself and for your family.

For others, it is the burden of separation from a wife or from a husband, and the burden of caring for the children alone. Even the food, the education, the discipline is that of the husband alone or that of the wife alone. The love that binds them together which is reflected in the growth of the children now belongs to past history. But who will bring them together again? It Lord if only they are both ready that they should come together.

What burden are you bare for other?

Everyone of us are given on task or the other in our various places, don't fail or refused what is expected of you, generation always read about the great man in the past, your doing and actions is your history as well, try your best to do good to others to have a good history as well.

As we shoulder our respective burden, let have it at the back of our mind that we will know peace, lasting peace, in our homes, in our society and wherever we found ourselves. Let always try our possible best
