Why Bear the Burden?
When I would bear my burdens
They seems so big for me –
They’re half my size or bigger
And I can hardly see.
But when I cast those burdens
On Jesus, how they shrink
And look so small beside Him!
It really makes me think,
Why should I bear a burden
He wants to bear for me
That’s large for me but easy
For Him who sets me free?
Christina Joy Hommes
“Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Psalms 55:22
God Sees the Sparrows
I know God sees the parrots
With all their showy words,
He sees the brilliant blue jays
And all the singing birds.
But when He told His people
About His tender care,
He talked about the sparrows
So common everywhere.
He doesn’t only notice
The famous or the wise,
The healthy or the mighty,
The ones who seem to rise.
God cares for all His children,
He watches you and me –
Providing and protecting
With love we feel and see.
Christina Joy Hommes
“Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” Luke 12:6-7
