It’s interesting, ya know? Most people consider a burden heavy when circumstances present a hardship that is simply too difficult to accept. But what about the burdens that don’t involve acceptance, but removal. Those burdens seem far more difficult to bear; the ones where God calls you to step away from something that you’ve known your whole life. Something that is more than addictive or harmful behavior; something that is you. And the sharp pain lies right there; not the fact that it’s a part of you, but the fact that it is you. And from that view, it is that “you” that must be removed.
