“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
A burden is something that is too heavy or unbearable for someone to carry on their own. We were burdened once with the weight of sin, without hope and in darkness, when we found out Christ had borne that burden on the cross and invited us to a yoke that is easy and a burden that is light (Matt 11:28-30). Do you see someone around you today who is struggling financially, emotionally, physically, or spiritually? The call is to share in their burdens, as Jesus did for us on the cross. Is it someone who does not know Christ? Share how Christ took away your own burdens when you surrendered them at the foot of the cross. Is it someone in the body of Christ? Then I leave you with this verse:
“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.”
I Corinthians 12:26-27
Let’s pray:
Father, thank You for bearing my burdens on the cross. Thank You that I have a loving heavenly Father in whom I can surrender my heaviest burdens to and be able to find rest. Give me the compassion today that I may not be indifferent to the sufferings of those around me but rather share in their burdens and pray for them in their sufferings, as You did. May they find comfort and peace in You Lord Jesus, amen.
