"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2
If you've ever had a heavy burden to carry in life, you know what a blessing it is to feel that someone cares about you and is willing to help you bear it. When your soul is wounded, the enemy takes advantage of it in all kinds of ways, one of which is to try to get you overly self-focused. He wants you to think about all the things that are wrong with you and everything that's bad in your life. He will try to fill your mind with only three words: me, myself, and I. One of the ways God heals the soul is by helping us get our minds off ourselves and onto what we can do for other people. In fact, thinking of others, helping and supporting them, are keys to healing and wholeness. We might say that helping others is the best way to help ourselves. As we trust God to heal our soul, He will turn our focus outward, giving us the strength to help others in their hour of need.
