Galatians 6:2
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
It is not a common thing in today's society to inconvenience oneself to help another. But as Christians we should have or be developing the attitude and mind of Christ. I visualize someone with lots of luggage. Both hands filled, bags on their backs and still have more bags. These bags represent their burdens. Will you stop to help or will you just walk by? We are called to be helpers one to another. As we freely receive mercy from Christ our Savior, we should freely extend mercy to others.
Keep your eyes open today. If you see one who has a burden offer a hand. Maybe they just need to talk. A gentle hug could turn someones day around. A kind word has healing power. My friend, what if it was you that was under the weight of all those bags? Would you want a kind hand of compassion to reach out to you? Of course you would. Be a burden bearer today. Allow God to use you to be a part of the solution for someone. You will reap the joy that comes from helping someone and they will receive the strength to go on a little farther in Jesus Name.
When you bear another's burden you are fulfilling the law of Christ. This fact alone should be enough to compel you to be a burden bearer.
