Problem solving

The problem with being a problem solver is that you cannot solve all of the problems that come your way.

Having a heart to help is a great thing. The Bible says that we are to bear one another’s burdens. When someone is under a load and friends come to help share the load, life is made easier for us all.

We hurt ourselves, however, when we try to carry someone’s entire load for them. Maybe our heart is so big we desire to carry others. Maybe they have a tendency to lean a little more on us than they should. Either way, we are not made to carry more than one load.

Stress, anxiety, mental and physical breakdowns are all evidences of trying to carry too much.

Jesus said, His yoke was easy and His burden is light. If it’s anything other than that, we are doing it wrong.

Wanting to help people by solving their problems is a good thing.

Thinking you have to solve every problem for every person is going to kill you.
