The Burden in Stride
The following is a message by Caleb Bobrycki, the son of “The Princess”, one of my very best friends. As is evidenced by his own convictions through this writing, Caleb is a “Soul’d Out” seventeen-year-old Christian. His passion for the lost is lived out in his daily life. He currently holds meetings (with permission) at the public school he attends. Before his fellow students, Caleb speaks (teaches) weekly from the Word of God and is seeing many young people come to Christ. Please pray for Caleb as he boldly stands for Truth to reach the lost.
This message along with many other powerful messages are posted on Caleb’s facebook page. Please show your encouragement via comments on this post.

The Burden in Stride
I pity the “disciple” without burden. Their pride may have my condolences, for I know what it’s like living a lifestyle without purpose and lacking the Spirit of God. There comes a time when we become so infatuated with everything around us in our daily lives that we forget what it’s like to want to speak the gospel to anyone and everyone we meet, including the smallest cricket. What happened to the manifestation of the Holy Spirit within us? What happened to the
liveliness of being in Christ? The burden in our stride must be a firsthand ambition to see the love of Jesus take place in lives around us. Without burden there is no cost, no mission, and no point in being a Christian other than, “I’m going to Heaven!”
The stride of a disciple is the sum of a couple of things: our love for Jesus, and our love for people knowing Jesus. The latter is the burden we carry! If we could care less about other souls knowing the relentless adoration God has for us, then why are we a part of this Christianity thing? Is this just some sort of club we joined, or does the death of His Son mean anything to us? Our relationship with Jesus should be so filling and knock-out compelling that all we care about is that cashier that scanned our groceries yesterday knows Jesus as her lord and savior, or the father that you see every single day really understands the revolutionary love God has for him. Maybe I’m wrong and you do care about mankind colliding with the love of their creator, however it isn’t your top priority; it isn’t your burden.
I could be speaking gibberish right now and you have a million other things to attend to, but before you leave, dear Christian (and I mean the one who calls them self a true blood Jesus lover) hear this: Jesus said, “Go” not “Take my salvation and be good now, ya hear?” Jesus said, “Go. Make disciples.” Yearn for the opportune moments to have those conversations with the people you meet daily about the wonderful God you serve. Do it because you can’t stand the thought of someone not understanding such a breathtaking Lord. Dear Christian, your stride should not be centered around your atonement; it should be centered around the same goal Jesus had. Let me say that again. Your relationship with Christ isn’t just so you can be a better person or cleaner; your whole life needs burden! Your every waking moment needs, “What about him? Her? Do they know Jesus? Do they really know Jesus?”
Mission: Seek through prayer a love for people knowing Him. “Give me eyes like Jesus.”
Result: A passion for people that burns so deep it becomes our burden.
Caleb – like your name means – Leader – be the leader God has called you to be. Even if it’s just teaching and ministering to the students at your school. I applaud you for standing up for what you believe in and not being ashamed of the gospel.
Just like God said to Joshua (Caleb’s partner-in-spying) – “Be Strong, Be Courageous, for I AM with you.”
(PS – you name also means dog, as in loyalty, which is evident in your relationship to Christ).
Wow. Just… WOW. Caleb, you have a wisdom far beyond your years which could have only been given to you by God Himself. I am not burdened as I once was. Thank you for the truth you have shared today.
Wow. 17? With a heart soul’d out, who knows what GOd can do through this young man.
This is a great reminder to all of us to not get so caught up in our daily stuff that we miss the big picture of reaching out and showing others who Jesus is and how they can have a personal relationship with him. Thank you Caleb for the reminder. You are a cousin of mine that I have not had the pleasure of meeting in person. Maybe we can meet soon.

What wisdom from someone so young. Caleb God is doing a work in your life to bring his word to everyone that will listen. I pray that our God continues to give you wisdom and courage, I pray that you will touch teens and share the love of Jesus with them.
many Blessings

Hi i am kavin, its my first time to commenting anyplace, when i read this paragraph i thought i could also make comment due to this good
piece of writing.
Paragraph writing is also a excitement, if you know after that you can write otherwise it is
complex to write.
You are so awesome! I don’t believe I’ve truly
read through anything like this before. So wonderful to discover another person with a
few genuine thoughts on this topic. Seriously.. thanks for starting this up.
This web site is one thing that’s needed on the web, someone with a bit of originality!
First off I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d
like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself
and clear your thoughts before writing. I’ve had trouble clearing my
thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy
writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or tips? Kudos!
I know this site offers quality dependent content and extra material, is there any
other web page which offers such data in quality?
Thanks for finally talking about > The Burden in Stride |
Lines In The Sand | Insert Grace Here < Loved it!
Actually when someone doesn’t know then its up to other users
that they will assist, so here it happens.
I am really loving the theme/design of your site.
Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A handful of my
blog readers have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer
but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any advice to help fix
this issue?
Great information. Lucky me I came across your website by chance (stumbleupon).
I have bookmarked it for later!
Hi, Neat post. There is an issue along with your web site in web explorer, could check this?
IE still is the market leader and a large part of other folks will pass
over your great writing because of this problem.
Asking questions are actually fastidious thing if you are not understanding anything entirely, but this paragraph gives fastidious understanding yet.
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But
imagine if you added some great images or videos to give
your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and
video clips, this website could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its niche.
Good blog!
If you are going for most excellent contents like I do, only pay a quick visit this website all the time as it presents
quality contents, thanks
Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured
I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest writing a blog article
or vice-versa? My website discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from
each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot
me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
Excellent blog by the way!
Everything is very open with a clear explanation of the challenges.
It was really informative. Your site is very useful.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked
submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say great blog!
No matter if some one searches for his vital thing, so he/she wants to be available that in detail, therefore that thing is maintained over here.
I think the admin of this web page is in fact working hard in favor of his web page, as
here every data is quality based stuff.
fantastic points altogether, you simply won a logo
new reader. What could you recommend in regards to your submit
that you simply made a few days in the past? Any positive?
Every weekend i used to pay a quick visit this web site, as
i want enjoyment, as this this web site conations actually
pleasant funny information too.
Fantastic blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused ..
Any ideas? Bless you!
