Welcome to this weekend's Intouch Podcast with Charles Stanley.

Has the world tempted you to become so preoccupied with your needs that you don't make time for others?

Today, we are challenged to look up from our own interests and begin bearing each other's burdens.

When you're going through some difficulty, a hardship in your life,

and you really feel burdened down, and I mean, you can't even express what you feel.

Do you feel the freedom to share that with someone else?

Or do you feel that to share your burden, your heartache, your trouble,

your pain with someone else is the sign of weakness that someone else would say,

well, why don't you just talk to God about it?

Don't you Christians believe that God lives your burdens?

Why don't you tell anybody else?

And so, oftentimes, we carry things that God never intends for us to carry.

We bear burdens that God never intends for us to bear alone.

Sometimes, He wants us to come straight to Him and to deal with Him.

Sometimes, God knows that you and I do not really and truly know exactly how to deal with some things,

that sometimes we need someone else to help us.

And when that's true, if we don't go to someone else,

we just bear it that much longer, suffer that much more probably more painfully than necessary.

And so, the issue is, what do you do with it?

Well, this is a second message in the series on how to bear our burdens.

And today, we're talking about how to bear each of us burden.

He said, well, but wait a minute now.
