“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.” – Galatians 6:2-5 (ESV)
As part of Jesus’ directive for us to love one another, He desires that we reach out in compassion and assist each other with the trials and burdens we face. As fellow travelers on this journey, each load we can share not only Blesses those we support, but in the process also strengthens the entire Body of Christ and draws us closer to Him.

I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
Thanks for the rminder. When helping others we are truly helping ourselves by being blessed.
Blessings to you, Phil
Perfectly said!
Blessings, Phil!
Great message for me to read today, Phil. In my ladies bible study this morning we were discussing the importance of compassion and humility. We show His love by being his hands and feet.
