The Burden of Love
Jesus(in physical form)was in my dream early Saturday(4/6/24) morning.
I don’t have many dreams where I can actually see Him but He was visible to the natural eye.
In my dreams I have heard His voice or knew He was there but this was unique.
I was observing Him helping someone with a burden (or something they were facing at the moment)causing them distress.
I watched as He sat with them and listened.
He wasn’t in a rush, He didn’t have any other place to be.
This was were He wanted to be.
Just like with the woman at the well
(“There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus *said to her, “Give Me a drink.””
John 4:7). In my dream He sat beside the person and it was beautiful to see Him carrying the burden by listening intently.
Taking the time.
(“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28) (“Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” Psalms 55:22)
(“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:29)
(“Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah.” Psalms 68:19)
(“casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7)
Jesus of course was patient and kind.
The person was humble and willing to tell Jesus all he had on his heart.
Honestly my heart was pumping fast but still at the same time.
I’m watching Jesus loving this person and learning by watching and listening intently as well.
His Presence brings awe and delight and there is no other place you could possibly desire to be.
Zero distractions.
I heard Jesus tell me the words, “ the burden of love”.
“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:7
“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
Jesus truly listens and truly cares.
And we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
“For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;” 1 John 3:11
If you and I have crossed paths it was not a fluke.
And I thank God for His purposes and plans.
They won't be thwarted.
The time is short, I desire to love as He does all the time.
"just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”” Matthew 20:28 NASB1995
To listen and care like Jesus was showing me and while He was here on Earth.
love from a pure heart.
