It is Friday afternoon and there is so much going on I don't know when my next break will be... October 1, maybe, or later... This brings me to the question, how much can you bear? For a long time I thought I was an all-star at bearing under what God would have me do. As I think now, that was wrong... I was a poor performer because I did not share the load with those that God placed around me. When I did not share the burden with Christ I limited who could bear the load to myself. When I turn the load over to Jesus, He shares it with me and those He chooses that can assist in work at hand, mainly the church. What are you doing to support your Pastor? What about the Elders? Or Deacons? Or Ministry Leaders? Or the Ushers or the person wiping your kids nose while you are enjoying the service?
Each one of us has a load to bear from our calling, our life and dealing with sin, our own and others'. Are you willing to give that load to Christ? What about helping with someone else's load are you willing to share if Christ calls?
I am getting better at sharing, but I always need a few more trustworthy friends to bear the load with... Will you be one?
