Being heavy hearted is an interesting thing. Sometimes my heart is weighed down with grief, like when I found out about a man I know taking his life yesterday.
Other times it is weighed down with love - like it feels right now when I consider my students and all they struggle with and all they are.
The joy in having a heavy heart, is knowing that there is One who can soothe it and wants to carry my burdens for me in exchange for a burden that is easy and light. Nobody understands more than He does, what it's like to have a heavy heart. In fact, His heart broke completely and willingly for me.
That makes my heart feel a lot lighter.
