“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.”
Romans 12:9-13 NIV
Every person you encounter everyday is fighting a battle you know nothing about
We all have burdens of some kind…yes even the person who shows their best life on social media
We are not here to judge whether one persons burden is greater than another
Rather we are to strive to help others carry their burdens as much as we need someone to help us carry our own
We should strive to ask the question…”how can I help?” more often than “why isn’t someone helping me?”
Jesus set the example for us and we would do well to follow Him
“Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
Philippians 2:1-4 NIV
