a good word May 9, 2008

so last night as i was reading i came across some old notes i had written and i was referred to Galatians 6:2-5

2Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, 5for each one should carry his own load. 

 definitions of the words burden and load:

burden- a load that can’t be carried alone

load-a weight we all have to carry

so i see this as God letting me know to carry my load but to participate in the carrying of each others burdens- when the load becomes too much and becomes the burden.  that’s not just for me who is totally willing to help others.  i do that already but one thing I do not do is let someone else carry my burdens and if i do i am not comfortable with it.  God has really been putting me in a place of humbleness and need.  i’m ok with that.  i know he’s working on me.  i need to allow others to help with my burden’s.
