Читать книгу Sharing the Burden - Christa Lüling - Страница 5

With this book on highly sensitive burden bearers Dirk and Christa Lüling have written one of those books so helpful that as I read it kept thinking, “… ought to read this, and I’ve got to get this in the hands of …”

It would be life saving for many who are merely highly sensitive, let alone the highly sensitive burden bearers, both of whom usually don’t understand why they feel what they do and suffer accordingly. Readers will find themselves exclaiming: “That’s me!” And: “Why didn’t I see that before? It would have saved so much trouble.” And then: “Thank God. I tried the prayers and they worked. I feel so much better. It’s so good to understand myself. Now I know, why I’ve been so different from everybody else. And it’s such a relief to know I’m not so different after all – there’s lots like me, and we all have the same problems.”

Best of all, Dirk and Christa show how burden bearing is a wondrous gift of the Lord, and how it is to be used in ministry and in intercessory prayer. Rightly understood and employed as an art of laying down one’s life in service to others (Galatians 6:2), burden bearing becomes one of the highest and most valuable ministries one can enter. Living it as a lifestyle breaks us out of self-centered selfishness into the christlike virtue of living to bless others, unmindful of self.

Whoever reads this book will not only become one who lives for others, he will burn with holy desire to help other sensitive types, and even those not so sensitive, to understand and come into freedom from the pain and hurt so many needlessly suffer (the not-so-sensitive also suffer, especially if living with a supersensitive type!). It is so good to be free from confusion, and much better, to be able to set others free.

Whatever the cost, get the book. It’s life transforming.
