I credit Mike Kirby with the photographs to accompany this word of encouragement. Taken in Waltham Chase, I believe the pictures illustrate that the Lord wants to lift you up today. He wants to lift your burdens. He wants to give you a faith lift which will show on your faces! King Jesus said : 'Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28). Go to Jesus in prayer. He never fails. Of course, sometimes we need the human touch through the body of Christ - that is the church - and although at times we fail, we are to be burden bearers in body ministry (or church and community service) and so build up the church and one another. The apostle Paul writes: 'Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ' (Galatians 6:2). What is the law of Christ? It is to love God with everything, and love your fellow man or woman as yourself. King lifting indeed!
