“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ”
(Galatians 6:2, NIV)
.
One of Jesus's commandments is to love one another. If we make an effort to relieve another person's burdens we are in deed pleasing God and fulfilling Christ's law. The act of carrying each others burdens can be accomplished in a variety of ways. A smile for a stranger obviously having a bad day, buy the elderly lady in line a bouquet of flowers (go to Aldi's) or pay for the cup of coffee of a stranger. Never under estimate the kindness of taking the time to listen to someone sharing their story, time and caring are two commodities that sometime seem to be as rare as valuable. These are little gestures but can make all the difference to a person in need. Raise people and their burdens up in prayer ! Their is power in prayer and if we as believers in Christ pray for the heavy laden, God hears us. We are fulfilling his command. Live, Love, Laugh and praise Jesus !
.
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, We come to you in prayer for our burdens, Lord , help me to be your hands and feet and carry some of the burdens of others with compassion, patience, understanding and most importantly, love. In your precious name, Amen.
“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”
(Romans 8:38–39, KJV)
Jesus love you!, This we know, for the bible tells us so! How wonderful is it to know that you are loved beyond words. If you haven't felt this love or are confused, doubtful or curious about why some people are full of a joy that they try to describe, Give Jesus a chance. The Joy of Christ is indescribeable, think of the worlds greatest Ice cream flavor, I will tell you the history of it, I will show you the big smile on my face as I eat it, I can tell you where it comes from, what this flavor promises to your palate and the packaging and where to find it!...Does this mean you have experienced that flavor of ice cream?..NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...You need to eat the dang thing. You need to experience Jesus to feel the joy, open your bibles, open your minds, open your hearts folks, get to a bible based church, turn on an uplifting Christian Christian radio station. I promise your journey will be specific to you and it will be amazing. You will not only grow as a person, you will grow in Christ and that feeling is ......INDESCRIBEABLE !
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank you for loving me beyond words. I pray that I will experience your love and grow closer to you everyday. Amen,
