To carry the burden or not?

Five years ago the world changed. Not just the USA but the whole world. It was a day that we should never forget. Yet modern psychiatrists tell us to move on with our life. To leave the past behind. Each one of us has something in our past that would wear us down if we allow our thoughts to dwell there. But as we give those memories to God, He takes the weight of them. They are still a part of us, like a scar, serving as a reminder of; a lesson learned, a hurt overcome, a victory, or a defeat. But it is only a person who is alive that can feel a scar.

On this day five years ago, the morning after, new hope began to emerge. We may not be able to fully explain the reason why we have a hope within, but we have to be able to give credit where credit is due. Our hope lay in the words of Jesus, declaring that He was preparing a place for us. No matter how bad it will get here in this life, we do have something better waiting for us.
