[00:00:01]The people who smile the most are often carrying the heaviest weight.

[00:00:06]The mask is a survival mechanism.

[00:00:09]Instinct trained by past experiences when you've been hurt while vulnerable, it's hard to unsheathe the pain in front of people who might poke you where you're sore at.

[00:00:21]You're afraid to bleed at the hands of people who thought who you thought were safe.

[00:00:26]A double-edged sword if not handled by the proper persons, this thing can get ugly.

[00:00:33]It takes a different type of courage to be honest about our process, so we try to protect ourselves from the unsavory consequences of connection.

[00:00:43]Some would rather drown alone than be heard crying for help as a cry for help attracts predators and perpetrators, making the task of unmasking almost unbearable.

[00:00:56]For good help is hard to find even in community.

[00:01:01]So, as survivors, we carry the weights on our lonesome, longing for a safe place to rest and unload the weight from our chests without a fight.

[00:01:13]It's not futile.

[00:01:15]Finding a safe haven is more than possible.

[00:01:19]It takes It takes two palms and perseverance.

[00:01:25]A surrendered posture taking everything to the throne room of heaven with our petitions, I am positive that we will be led in the right direction, able to unmask and rest.

[00:01:51]And remember that rest is available.

[00:01:58]The Lord said, "Come to me, all you that are weary and heavy laden and in need of rest." He said, "I will give you rest."

[00:02:08]So, all of the problems, all of the weights that you're carrying it carrying, bring it to the throne room.

[00:02:14]Bring it to the Lord.

[00:02:17]And surrender it.

[00:02:19]You don't have to carry the weights on your own.

[00:02:22]And in due time, he will put the right people around you, the right community around you that won't mishandle you.

[00:02:29]With that being said, I hope y'all have a blessed and amazing day.
