✦ MADE SIMPLE

My sins have become like a heavy yoke that God himself tied around my neck. They're all twisted together, weighing me down so much that I can't even stand up anymore. The Lord has handed me over to people I have no power to fight against.

Sometimes the weight of our mistakes becomes so heavy that we can't carry ourselves anymore.
