DEAR GOD: Burdens Shared Fulfills Christs’ Law~

 

Sharing the word of the LORD and offering ourselves in love is the fulfillment of Christ’s law.  Allowing others to “unload” their burdens and troubles demonstrates our faith and willingness to fulfill His Word, and Law, which is one and the same.

Sometimes someone needs an “ear” or a “hand” or a “smile” — whichever or whatever it might be— so be it, and so it is done in Christ’ precious name.

Ostensibly, we cast our burdens to the LORD…when it is too much for us to bear.  We are all one family in the church and it takes a “village” of the faithful to accomplish that which the LORD can do on His own.  We need to generate and initiate our spirit in accordance with His word, and walk in alignment of which He wills us to walk.

Ultimately we are to be able to function in the capacity in which God wants us to.  We need to ascribe to the theory of “we are one body” in Christ, and each part cannot do without the other part.  A hand needs the arm, and the ear needs the head, and the leg needs the foot, and so on and so forth…all ONE in Christ.

Sharing each others burdens are called to order in the book Galatians especially.  As Christians and followers there are aspects and tenets of faith that we adhere to.  Sharing burdens is one. Sharing the word is another.  Sharing the love of Christ is the nucleus of that objective.

When we believe, meditate on His Word, practice what we read, open ourselves to His guidance and the direction of the Spirit…and pray for His will and for Him to reveal our purpose in His overall plan…we are truly walking on the right path.  When we ask to be used as His vessel, we are trusting in Him fully thereby enabling Him to USE us.

Trusting in Him and Loving Him is the definitive of practicing our faith and being one body in the church of Christ.

Our Royal Priest, our intercessor, our Lord of lords, King of kings…and our reason for LIFE.

Share one another’s burdens as we turn them over to the One who can handle it for us.  Fulfill His law…and watch all good things happen as He will bless us for our dedication and obedience to His Word.

Pick up the phone, call someone tonight who needs to be uplifted and encouraged tonight, in Jesus Christ’ name, Amen.

 

 

Galatians 6:5 Context

2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

5 For every man shall bear his own burden.

6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;

but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
