Be a burden carrier!

Galatians 6: 2
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
 
The Bible suggests, that we in the church, should actually help one another.
I wonder how different our churches might be, if we had people come next to us, and walk with us?
 
If we’re about to stumble, how comforting it would be, to have another brother or sister, be on the watch with us, for a misstep.
In this daily walk of faith, any of us are prone to a trip, once in a while.
 
Church people often get offended, when another person of the faith, offers gentle, subtle, correction.
We’re actually supposed to be grateful, for the one who helps us along the way.
 
The actual translation to the words… “Carry each other’s burdens…”, is, if you see one about to stumble under his burden, hold him up.”
What is this burden? Sin, and the temptation to sin.
 
Who do you know today, who needs to be held up?
The other question that comes into play is… “Will they allow themselves to be held up?”
 
Waking with Jesus every day, is not to be done, solo.
The church needs other people, to join in this pilgrimage.
 
How comforting to know, that God distinctly put special people in our lives, so we would not fall, and so that we would not stumble…
