Galatians 6:2 “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of CHRIST.”
Carry On!
When significant weight
is removed from one’s
shoulders;
catching them so off
guard with such
sudden release…
Then the freedom its
absence creates is
o’erwhelming;
Soon tears begin
flowing with joyous
Increase!
In this hour found
scarred but now helped
with our burdens;
may each wearied soul
embrace CHRIST’s
lightened load!
For no matter what all
we once carried
without HIM,
our steps are now
blessed in HIS foot
prints here shown!
Glory! Held in GOD’s
arms when our stance
was past crumbling,
So only one set can
been visibly seen!
Standing straight once
again in the strength of
our SAVIOUR;
bear weight for another
…as GOD-sent relief!
As HIServant with you moving in the power of GOD to lift others,
Whitney
Devotional: Philippians 2:4 “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
“GOD-sent relief” is just that! We cannot operate in this life without embracing HIM wholly while…denying ourselves.
Often we set aside the priorities for our own weights to instead help another with their burden.
The back and forth “switching” becomes an “either/or” dilemma which adds to all kinds of personal fatigue.
Mental, physical, emotional, and even spiritual drains lead to overwhelming waves of doubt and concern.
But GOD…yes! BUT GOD!
John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
By this everyone will know that you are MY disciples, if you love one another.”
We CAN effectively carry both our burdens and others BY fully leaning on and prioritizing CHRIST in our lives.
Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you.
Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap.
For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Beloved! HE knows every burden, weight, challenge and concern we have AND!
AND HE knows we are flesh and the exact levels of our human strength.
As I posted a few weeks ago…”How well do we think GOD knows our needs? Just know there’s no gap! Hallelujah!!”
So oh my Soul!
Both seek and serve HIM relentlessly COUNTING ON HIS finished work, HIS sovereign power and HIS ever working THROUGH us!
John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Daily love one another then…by drawing in HIS strength to lift each other’s burdens, amen?
Carry on!
Amen and amen.
