How to Cast a Burden—Part 5
"Treat people the same way you want them to treat you." {Luke 6:31 NASB}
I once had a situation with an elderly relative which I handled very wrong. If she were to die, it would probably have become my responsibility to manage her estate—and she had no estate plan.
While visiting this relative, I became aware of various passwords which I secretly wrote down. I wanted to have a starting point to get necessary information if her estate became my responsibility. At the time, I didn't think I was doing anything wrong.
The Holy Spirit saw things differently. Soon, my emotions really began to suffer in regard to the issue. I immediately cast this emotional burden on the Lord—and waited for guidance.
The next day things became clear: The Holy Spirit made it clear that what I had done was wrong in His sight.
To break free of the pain, I needed to call the relative, explain what I had done and apologize—which I did.
Lesson learned.
