“Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” |
—Galatians 6:2 |
One of the great joys of belonging to God through His Son, Jesus, is the opportunities He gives us to help other people. Nothing makes us smile quite as much as seeing one of our brothers or sisters in Christ helping someone in need.
The Apostle Paul wrote these words of instruction, found in Galatians 6:2:
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
The road of life is just too difficult to travel it alone. That’s why God created His church—to bring believers together so they could worship Him and encourage and help each other. We need to keep this reality in the forefront of our minds.
As we begin a new day, let’s look for opportunities where we can be of assistance to our fellow “Christ’s-ones.” And, let’s also be aware of people around us who have needs that we can help them meet.
Giving a hand up is certainly a fitting way to honor the God who loves us with His everlasting love. By so doing, we represent Him well to a world that needs to learn of Him.
