“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
• We were down on our knees in prayer with the past-due bills spread out in front of us. Hot tears rolled down my cheeks as I begged God to please help my good friend and neighbor. Her husband had died unexpectedly, leaving behind thousands of dollars of debt. She had no insurance, no job, and no way to pay the rent! Yes, she needed money, but even more, she needed some- one to pray for her, and to carry this impossible burden to the Lord. We prayed in faith, believing that God would provide somehow—perhaps through our family. I believe that is the beginning of compassion—to know exactly how your neighbor is experiencing the tough times. But are you and I ready to help today? Think about the people who cross your path each day. See their faces and feel their hearts. What is it like to have her home life, his work, their friends, problems, and joys? Now . . . take time to reach out. What burden seems too heavy for a friend today?
