BEARING ONE ANOTHER'S BURDEN



BEARING ONE ANOTHER'S BURDEN

When I keep it real, When I keep it focused and When I humble myself before the Lord, it is of His righteousness and love that we carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of
Christ. Gal. 6:2.

When God places people in our lives who are in need, He is aware of what they lack, and He knows He has given you the resources to meet those needs.  You know God does nothing by accident.  When a need surfaces around you, immediately go to the Father and say, "You put me here for a reason.  You knew this was going to happen.  What did You (Lord) intend to do through me that would help this person become closer to You?

Recognizing a need in some one's life can be one of the greatest invitations from God you will ever experience. Its easy to become frustrated by the problems of others, they can overwhelm you as you become aware of their need after need.  Rather than looking at each new problem as one more drain on your time, energy, or finances, ask God why did He place you in this situation.  Allow God to help you beyond the obvious needs of others to the things He wants to accomplish in their lives.  Don't miss God's activity because you're reluctant to carry the load of others.

Ask yourself, is God blessing you materially? it may be He is developing a "supply portal" in your life through which He can provide for others.  Has God granted you a strong, healthy family life? it may be that He requires such a dysfunctional home for you to minister to the hurting, deserted or even that unloved one.  Has God released you from sinful habits? the timing of your deliverance will leave you to be a strong and mighty testifier, letting those who are yoked up in sin, that there is indeed hope in Jesus the Savior for complete restoration.

Has God's peace comforted you in a time of great sorrow? Has God miraculously provided for your needs? It may be that He has been purposefully building all these things into your life so that you can now be the kind of person who "WILL CARRY THE BURDENS OF OTHERS".......

Lord, I thank you for reminding me why you keep me alive and well, forever reminding me that it is not my will but your will that must be done.  Keep me with purpose and the tenacity to pursue righteousness and love, and according to your word Lord, you will bless us with LIFE, PROSPERITY AND HONOR.  thank you Lord, I love You to eternal life everlasting.......sw
