Oft times we tend to categorize what we carry as "weight," and fool ourselves into thinking that if we can lift it, that we should carry it as well. Deceit comes in many shapes, sizes, forms and overall presentations.
Many years ago when I was a UPS Driver, without fail, the smallest package was always the heaviest. So is Life and that is where deceit comes into play. We gauge the presentation of the package and underestimate the true Strength that is required to not only lift it, but to "carry" it as well. As a delivery driver, if I wasn't careful and just yanked the package in an effort to carry it, I would have been rudely reminded that "everything is not what it appears to be." A hard lesson to learn, but a valuable one nonetheless.
Big things come in small packages. The "weight of the world" is not conducive to the actual size of the world, so do not allow the deceitfulness to have you thinking and ultimately believe that it is all of yours in which to carry.
Do not "carry" what was not INTENDED for you to carry, let alone lift.
Be mindful of the presentation that is before you.
Tune out your own thoughts when it begins to tell you that you can, when all indications are directing that you shouldn't.
Deception causes misdirection, which leads us directly to the outskirts and exterior perimeter of our Purpose and Protection.
If it is not yours in which to carry, leave it alone. If you have already picked it up, then promptly, "Lay It Down."
