140. The Weight We Carry

Hello, Beautiful! Lent is our opportunity to surrender the weight we carry. Not just chocolate or chips—but the pain, the sorrow, the hurt, the burdens that only heaven can heal. Today's devotional features one of my absolute favorite songs: "Come As You Are" by Crowder—and Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus gives us the most beautiful invitation: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." This isn't about getting yourself together. It's not about cleaning yourself up or having it all figured out. Just come. Just be. Come as you are. In today's episode, you'll discover: 👣 Why Lent asks us to stay in the messy middle—not rush to the end 👣 The powerful connection between Crowder's lyrics and Jesus's words 👣 And a gentle call to surrender: lay down your burdens, lay down your shame ✨ Plus, a journaling prompt and cleansing ritual to help you release what you've been carrying. 📖 Grab your tea, a cozy blanket, and your Bible. Let's continue this 40-day journey together. 🌟 Know someone who needs to hear this invitation?
