Children Feel Pressure, But They Don’t Carry It
Children go through fear, frustration, confusion, and sadness. But they process these feelings differently because they don’t internalize them as lifelong burdens.
Children cry, but they don’t rehearse anxiety. They feel overwhelmed, but they don’t catastrophize. They fall, but they don’t make failures define them. They get comfort and then move on.
Children live lightly because they connect relationally. They trust someone greater than themselves. Adult heaviness often comes from carrying burdens we were never meant to bear alone.
Lightness returns when we shift the burden back to the Father.
