Years ago our family attended a church that met in the lower level of a motel. One evening I went to church alone and was particularly burdened and run down with some of the circumstances in my life. Much to my surprise, someone had placed a large wooden cross outside the door.
There were some chairs in the lobby so I sat for a few minutes to collect my thoughts for a time of worship and praise. As I gazed at that cross, the Lord spoke to my heart. He told me to hang my burdens on the cross, and when the service was over, I could pick them up on the way out.
I did hang my burdens on the cross that night. The time of praise and worship was glorious. When I left and saw that dear wooden cross, and the One who died to set me free, I had no desire nor inclination to pick up my burdens again.
They died with Him there that night.
1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your cares on Him
For He cares for you.
