Burdens

I have a testimony of what this picturing is portraying:
The infinite and supernal love that my brother Jesus Christ has for all of us.
It makes me think of this song:
Who can know the burden, you're carrying inside?
Who can know the heartache, the heartbreak, the times you've cried?
Where is heavens answer, when it seems her gates her closed?
When your heart is broken, who knows?
So many ways are calling, promising, pleading.
And still their is an emptiness, an aching a needing.
He'll help you with your burden and give you peace inside.
He'll take away the heartache, the heartbreak, the times you've cried.
He is heavens answer, when it seems her gates are closed.
When your heart is broken he knows.
He waits with open arms, come and stay.
We're given trials so that we may grow and become stronger.
But we're never alone through our suffering.
Our Savior is there, and he knows what we're going through, because he already has.
He knows pain and heartache like nobody else does.
But he also knows joy and happiness, the likes of which we can't even imagine.
When you're struggling or hurting or feeling alone, go to Him.
Things will always work out when we put our trust in Him.
Have a beautiful week!

My amazing sister Rebekah wrote the beautiful song above for a friend of hers.
Her talents never cease to amaze me.
