Bear & Share // Galatians 6:2

We have looked at the need to wear love and kindness on a daily basis with an eternal view. Today, I want to look at one of my favorite Bible verses that helps us think about what it means to do so. Galatians 6:2 tells us that we fulfill Jesus’ commandment to love when we help others with their burdens. Some translations say we are to bear them, others say we are to share them. Ultimately, the message ends up the same. When we help others with the things that weigh them down, we are showing lovingkindness to them. Think about how Jesus bore the cross for you and me. He did that out of joy that completed His love for all. So be there for someone today who has a burden to bear. Help him or her share the weight and realize regardless of the weight, it needn’t be carried alone.
