00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.960
There's a specific kind of ache that comes from feeling like you should have done more.

2
00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.480
Like somehow this thing that went wrong or this person who's hurting is partly your

3
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:11.640
fault.

4
00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:17.160
Even if logic tells you otherwise, guilt loves to masquerade as responsibility.

5
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.120
But not everything heavy belongs to you.

6
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.260
Ask yourself, did I cause this?

7
00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:25.440
Can I control this?

8
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.160
Can I cure this?

9
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:32.159
If the answer is no, then what you're carrying may not be yours to hold.

10
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:37.460
You're not responsible for other people's healing.

11
00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:39.900
You're not in charge of fixing everything.

12
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:43.720
You can be compassionate without becoming consumed.

13
00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:46.600
Sometimes love means releasing the outcome.

14
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.540
Sometimes being a good person means letting go, not holding on tighter.

15
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:53.460
God never asked you to carry it all.

16
00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:58.940
He asked you to surrender what you can't fix, and trust that He is still working even

17
00:00:58.940 --> 00:01:00.340
when you can't.

18
00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:03.020
Your guilt doesn't make you more loving.

19
00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:08.740
It just makes you exhausted, and you don't need to prove your goodness by punishing yourself.

20
00:01:08.740 --> 00:01:13.660
Breathe, forgive yourself, lay it down.

21
00:01:13.660 --> 00:01:16.060
You've done what you could, and that's enough.
