BEAR ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galations 6:2 [NKJV]

A “One Anothering” Thought To Bear means: to carry to support to endure

In other words, Paul says that we believers should help one another with our burdens. We should help a brother or sister in Christ carry their burden to the Lord. We should support each other with prayer and encouragement during a time of burden. We should endure the hardships burdens might cause and walk together to strengthen each other. By doing this Paul says we will fulfill the law of Christ which is the command Jesus gave us to love one another. (John 13:34)

ONE-ANOTHERING IN ACTION: Do you have a burden you are attempting to carry alone, or do you know a brother or sister in Christ that does? If you are carrying a burden, tell God about it and give it to Him to carry. Then,ask Him to send a brother or sister in Christ into your life to help you endure and to support you in your time of need so you can be strengthened and not attempt to take the burden back upon yourself. If you have no burden but do know someone who does, pray about how you might help them bear their burden and so practice the one-anothering that Christ desires and Paul taught.

Share in each other’s troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 [NLT]

WE ARE ALL PART OF ONE ANOTHER

Japanese-American activist Yuri Kochiyama died yesterday (2 June 2014) at age 93. Here are some words of wisdom from a woman who was ahead of her time.

“Remember that consciousness is power. Consciousness is education and knowledge. Consciousness is becoming aware. It is the perfect vehicle for students. Consciousness-raising is pertinent for power, and be sure that power will not be abusively used, but used for building trust and goodwill domestically and internationally. Tomorrow’s world is yours to build.”

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Galatians 6:1-3 NKJV

ONE PIECE TO SOMEONE'S PUZZLE

There must have been a time when you entered a room and met someone and after a while you understood that unknown to either of you there was a reason you met. You had changed the other or they had changed you. By some word or deed or just by your presence, the errand had been completed. Then perhaps you were a little bewildered or humbled and grateful. And it was over.

Each lifetime is the piece of a jigsaw puzzle. For some there are more pieces. For others the puzzle is more difficult to assemble. Some seem to be born with a nearly completed puzzle. And so it goes. Souls going this way and that trying to assemble the myriad parts.

But know this. No one has within themselves all the pieces to their puzzle. Like before the days when they used to seal jigsaw puzzles in cellophane ensuring that all the pieces were there.

Everyone carries with them at least one and probably many pieces to someone else’s puzzle. Sometimes they know it. Sometimes they don't.

And when you present your piece which is worthless to you, to another, whether you know it or not, whether they know it or not, you are a messenger from the Most High.
