The Weight of Reality
We, as humans, must feel the weight of reality. We must realize how important it is. I don't mean the everyday monotony, but the very real aspects of life that we numb ourselves too. We escape this reality through entertainment, drugs, alcohol, sex, addiction, sports, music, and anything else. These things really give us a chance to escape that which is the reality of this world. The reality that there are very heavy things to realize. Heavy things to NOT IGNORE. These might be what our eternity looks like, what is God all about, what do we do with pain, suffering, and our struggles.
Then, when we realize the weight of the reality of this world, this life, this existence...we must recognize that we can't carry that weight. We mustn't try to hold it and deal with it on our own. As Christ followers, we must really put this weight upon Christ. He came to carry the weight and the burden of this world. Don't doubt te weight and how must he can carry.
This is what's been on my heart this weekend. I got a chance to talk to my sister about it, and it really occurred to be true to me. Thoughts?

To be silly, here's an analogy. It's like we are working out. We try to avoid it, but then we get out of shape. When we finally do work out, we are bench pressing so much weight we can't handle it ourselves. God's there to be our spotter cheering us on and to help us when we can't lift it on our own.
