"Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)

Sometimes we carry worries and burdens that paralyze our souls, bodies, and spirits, and we become unable to bear them. We live a life of paralysis and spiritual death on earth.

The Lord commanded us to bear one another's burdens. He commanded us to pray and feel each other's pain. He commanded us to lift our eyes from our problems and selfishness and care for the circle of people around us.

The Bible tells us about the love of four friends for their paralyzed friend. Despite the great hardship and difficulties they faced, they were determined to carry their friend to the place where Jesus was, despite the fatigue and hardship.

They tried to bring him in through the door, but they couldn't because of the crowd.

They tried to bring him in through the windows, but they failed.

4 And when they couldn't get near him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. And when they had broken it up, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven."

Then he said to the paralytic,"I say to you, arise, take up your mat, and go home!" (Luke 2:4, 5, 11).
The Lord intervened and healed the paralytic when he saw the sincere love of his friends for him and the strength of their faith.

We need love for one another to make life easier. We cannot live in isolation from others.

The Lord Jesus gave us the greatest commandment: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." (Luke 10:27)

We only need to apply this verse, and then all burdens will be lifted from our shoulders when the Lord sees hands raised for others.

The love of the four friends *transcends ordinary love.

Because with their love, they penetrated the heavenly spheres and were able to move the hand of the Almighty.

Our Heavenly Father
We love you, Lord, the source of our strength. You are our refuge, our fortress, and our savior. Help us to step out of ourselves and humble ourselves.
Pour your love into our hearts so that we may feel, love, and bear each other's burdens and place them at the throne of grace. Holy Spirit of God, help us to move, fast, pray in our solitude, cry out, and unite with one heart for our loved ones. We thank you, Lord, for you are able to send your word, heal your children, and save them from death. We thank you, Lord God, for you hear our cries in times of distress, and you will comfort hearts and intervene in every problem, pain, and fatigue, and unite us in the name of Jesus. Heal our souls, Lord. Unite our souls with your Holy Spirit. Help us to emerge from the circle of ourselves, Lord.

May your morning be blessed with the light of Christ.
