Galatians 6:2
“Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.”
You have burdens. I have burdens. We all carry them. And sometimes, life brings us to a point where the weight feels like too much. In those moments, we’re not meant to carry it alone. And neither is the person you see struggling nearby.
When it’s too heavy to bear, God doesn’t just suggest—we’re instructed—to step in. To help. To love.
Picture this: you’re walking through something incredibly difficult, and then, a brother or sister in Christ steps in—not just to offer words, but to live out the law of Christ by easing your burden. That’s love in action.
And in those moments, God blesses both hearts—the one receiving help, and the one giving it. There’s a deep joy in knowing the Lord used your willingness to restore or uplift someone.
Honestly, it's better than any material reward this world could offer.
We live in a time when burdens are everywhere. People are weary, hurting, and overwhelmed. If you notice someone struggling, pray. Ask God how you can help. And then—step in. Lighten their load. Love like Jesus by sharing each other's burden.
Yes, sometimes it feels like your own situation demands everything—your money, your energy, your time. But that’s exactly when it counts most. That’s the kind of sacrifice God honors. After all, it’s His money, His time. And when He puts it on your heart to pause your own struggle and serve someone else, trust Him.
Don’t lean on your own understanding. Trust His timing. Obey the law of Christ by helping one another in love. When you follow that nudge of the Holy Spirit, you’re working unto the Lord.
Amen.
Galatians 6:9–10
“So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.”
