Inspiration From birth, Christ already shouldered the heavy responsibility of redeeming the sins of man. In our daily life, we may complain of all our responsibilities, of our banal routine activities in paying for a house, studying, going to work, cleaning the house, and so on. These are but trifles compared to the burden of the cross Christ had to carry for all mankind. Never forget, never lose perspective or be ungrateful for the gift of life and salvation given unto us by him, for that is what is truly important, this is the responsibility and weight, immeasurably larger than our own, carried for us. Prayer Graceful God and Merciful Father, help me not forget the debt paid unto us with Christ's blood. Where my burdens seem like mountains, cast my eyes once again towards the grounds of Golgotha. For upon the cross, sits Your only begotten Son, with a weight I cannot carry. So I praise and thank you Lord, for having lifted the weight of sin for me, in everlasting mercy. For without which I would not have Your truth, Your grace, and Your blessing. Amen.
