FULFILL THE LAW OF CHRIST!

Bear [through the idea of removal; lift ] ye
one another's burdens [down falls, weights],
and so fulfil [complete] the law of Christ.

     When someone is struggling with a heavy load in each arm, the
     natural and loving thing to do is to offer to help carry some
     of the packages. One may say," Here, may I help you with
     that?" We can do the same for each other for mental burdens
     as well.

     "How can I bless you? What can I do for you?" A pat on the
     back, a word of encouragement, a victory sharing from our
     own life, prayer, giving our time and talent or giving a gift
     are several different ways we can help lift each others' burdens.

     I felt very burdened last week. My church family knew
     something was bothering me. When they asked, I
     did not hide my load with a cover of, "Nothing." Instead
     of carrying it around any longer, I asked for their prayers and
     they encouraged me to believe. After their prayer, my burden
     lifted. When I knew how much they loved me, it lifted even more.
      When I was reminded God has it all covered and I can completely
     trust in Him, I was not so distracted that the circumstances indicated
     otherwise.

     What weighs you down? Our brothers and sisters in Christ also
     carry loads too hard to bear alone. If we are willing to look away
     from our own burden, keeping an eye on what's above and help others
     with love and grace to remove their load, somehow our own burdens
     may not feel quite so heavy anymore. Amen.

As you have noticed, I took some time away from GWD this week. I needed to prepare for Sunday school class and to teach a ladies' Bible fellowship. Now that those obligations are fulfilled, I can focus on continuing GWD. Thanks.
