Burden Bearers
Burden Bearers
It’s often hard to know how to share in someone’s sadness, listen during times of stress, and help manage hurts and struggles. Yet bearing one another’s burdens is the truest expression of a Christlike love. In our calling to fulfill the law of Christ, we must love others with purpose and endurance.
Imagine the love that compelled Christ to go to the cross—the overwhelming hatred for sin, but the overpowering love that prevailed. By literally carrying the weight of our sins, He became the ultimate example of bearing one another’s burdens. That same sacrificial love, humbly laying down oneself for another’s good, is what we are called to give one another.
Jesus told His disciples that they were to love each other with the same endurance, purpose, and intentionality that He loved them (John 13:34). In practice, carrying the burdens of others looks like an active and selfless investment in people who cross your path. Pray for those you encounter, speak truth in love, give with compassion, serve one another humbly, lend and expect nothing in return. Call back those who have turned away; minister to the ones who are struggling and hurting. Giving the love of Christ is
the way of living the love of Christ.
A Prayer for Procrastionators
A Prayer for Procrastionators
You should’ve been done with this yesterday. And, you could’ve been done the yesterday before that. But, for some reason, your brain keeps kicking the job further down your “to-do” list. After all, what’s one more day?
Each day you put it off, it gets a little bit harder to pick it back up. After all, there are so many better things you’d rather be doing. It’s hard to make time for this. Plus, you work better under pressure. Maybe you just need more time to *think* about it. Or, maybe there’s even a part of you that’s just worried: what if you’re really bad at it?
Thoughts like these can make a procrastinator’s avoidance tendencies go into overdrive, causing us to push the job off even more (for real, though, how long do you think it took to write this prayer?).
Thankfully, we can come to God with these worries too, and ask for his strength— and some supernatural focus— to set out and do our work well.
While you still might procrastinate a little, maybe this verse and prayer will help you out when it’s time to hunker down and really get things done.
