Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2)
We should try to memorize this verse. It shouldn't take too long, but practicing it may take a lot longer. When we sit ina pew on Sunday, it's easy to get the idea that it's up to the pastor and paid staff members to do all the real work of ministry. We're just here to help when we can, right? Not according to Paul. Echoing the words of Jesus, Paul reminded us that everyone should be involved with helping others. That means teaching on another, encouraging one another, serving one another, and praying for one another. You probably like one of these ministries more than the others. If so, then you should make sure you work in that ministry to help others. this is the law of Christ: To love each other as we love ourselves. The church staff will never be able to do this without our help.
How are you carrying others' burdens?
Ask God to show you how he can use you in the lives of others today, then keep your eyes open for opportunities.
