daily word - 2 types of burdens
Do you know that you can give me all the insults, rejections, and abuses that you receive? Do you know that they are too great a burden for you to carry but I can bear them so they will not crush you. Are you eager to do this? What about all the compliments and honors and affirmations you receive? Are you eager to receive and accept them yourself? But can you bear them and still walk in contrite humility? These will not crush you but they may inflate you with pride. Do you see this as just as great a danger as being crushed by rejection?
