Sharing Burdens

Today's fellowship at my small group was so wonderful and full of encouragements. We talked about one verse from Galatians 6:2-

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ"

I am once again reminded that we are not made to carry our own burdens; this will never work out as we are not created to do so. Instead, a Christian community is to share joy and carry burdens together. In Christ, the yoke is easy and the burden is light. Just how great is my Father to command this of us!

Tonight, also, made me think about how I should be able to carry others' burden while trusting God, that I am not to take the matter into my own hand and worry about it but rather, rest it all in Him. Yet at the same, it is my responsibility to love and care for others selflessly with the love of Christ. What a hard and important thing to do!

Prayers to the Baylys and those who have shared/shown their burdens tonight.

Love,
Anna
