Carry One Another's BurdensGalatians 6:2

Doing Life Together

Have you ever moved, almost without realizing it, from learning about another person’s burdens to helping carry them? Indeed, if we don’t carry one another’s burdens, are we even truly alive? It is possible, and all too common, to become less human, but never to become too human. Doing life together is the very definition of humanity.

    Mitch, I’ve had a couple of occasions when I was praying for someone, and the Lord let me actually take their burden. I woke up one night at 3 AM and prayed for a young man I knew who literally had not slept in days. I went back to sleep at 6:00. When I saw him later that day, I asked how he had done the night before, and he said, “Better! I actually slept from 3:00 to 6:00!”

      What a blessing those three hours of sleep must have been for that young man! Praise the Lord for the power of divine intervention in answer to one’s prayers. 🙂

    Empathy and kindness are the answer to almost everything. Per Jesus.

    I gave empathy daily but I would make a plea for being gentle to new authors. Sometimes ugly comments can really rear back and hurt novelists. If I don’t care for something or think, this is boring, I move on. But courage goes to those who continue against hardships. Sometimes at night I pray for my husband’s better health and for mine. Thank you for listening.
