VERSE:
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the
law of Christ.
-- Galatians 6:2
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Galatians+6:2
THOUGHT:
This is just another way of saying, "Love your neighbor as
yourself!" Jesus came to bear our burdens and carry away the stain
and pain of our sin. (Read Isaiah 53 for a powerful description of
God's Suffering Servant, a passage quoted in the New Testament in
reference to Jesus.) He now asks us to live redemptively, in
practical ways, toward those around us. More than just praying, or
asking what we can do to help, we are called to serve, minister,
and assist others who are burdened.
PRAYER:
Holy and merciful God, please give me eyes to see, a heart
willing to serve, and hands ready to help the people in my path who
need a burden lifted. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
