Thoughts on Today's Verse...

This is another way of saying, "Love your neighbor as yourself," or "Love your brother and sister in Christ as yourself." Jesus came to bear our burdens and carry away the stain and pain of our sin. (Read Isaiah 53 for a powerful description of God's Suffering Servant, a passage quoted in the New Testament in reference to Jesus.) He now asks us to live redemptively, in practical ways, toward those around us. More than just praying or asking what we can do to help, we are called to serve, minister, and assist others who are burdened. Let's carry each other's burdens and in this way live into the character and compassion of our Savior Jesus Christ.

My Prayer...

Holy and merciful God, please give me eyes to see, a heart willing to serve, and hands ready to help the people in my path that need a burden lifted. I pray this in Jesus' name, to honor him. Amen.
