Why Strength Is For Service... #wireformen Carrying burdens is something we do... as husbands, fathers, friends... as men. It's hardwired into how God designed us, built us. We carry literal burdens; we carry figurative ones. Very little of our life is not spent carrying some burden or another. We're made to find purpose and meaning in the carrying. Strength is for service. Romans 15:1-2 A problem arises, though, when we carry the wrong ones. It's easy to do. Sometimes we carry them for selfish and self-serving reasons. Sometimes we carry burdens for others, but only to get credit from the original owners-bosses, co-workers, acquaintances of some strategic value. Sometimes we carry burdens for others simply because we can. .. and because we hate to say, "no." Sometimes we carry them because we don't trust that anyone else will, if we do not. Make no mistake: none of these is a good reason to pick up and carry a burden. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjkhE8RrkGD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
