Share Each Other’s Burdens

2 Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. ~ Galatians 6:2

A lot of times, we go through things that our friends can’t always understand, or we feel we have to bear the load on our own. Christ didn’t die for us so that we could live alone and carry our own burdens. If we go to someone with our problems, instead of trying to carry the load by ourselves, the load will become lighter.

No, not everyone is going to go through the same exact struggle as you, but your true friends won’t judge you and tear you down; they’ll help you up and help you carry the load until the burden has been lifted. And once our burden is lifted, we can help someone else carry their load. We don’t have to live this life alone; we have each other.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Share Each Other’s Burdens.

Sympathize With Each Other

8 Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. ~ 1 Peter 3:8

No one can go through this world alone. Everyone needs help. We are one body in Christ Jesus; that means that we don’t and can’t work alone. The hand needs the arms just as much as it needs the stomach or the legs. The body needs each limb and each organ in order to work perfectly. You are not alone. Everyone needs help. And once you’ve gotten help, pay it forward and help another. Be there for each other as brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Sympathize With Each Other.

Fight Like A Child of God

7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! ~ John 15:7

As Christians, we’ve been promised that whatever we ask in the name of Jesus, it will be given to us. Yet so many of us ask and don’t receive. Why? A lot of the time, what we ask for would only hurt us because it takes us farther from the will of God. There is nothing that we could imagine for ourselves that could even compare to the plans that the Father has for us.

So, how do we receive answers to our prayers? We have to remain in the LORD and in His word. How many of us can honestly say that we have sought the LORD like Elijah did? Or have you had the faith of Abraham? Or the righteousness of Job? When our hearts yearn for the LORD, and our desires begin to match His, then we see our prayers begin to be answered. But that doesn’t mean they’ll be answered the next day. Daniel didn’t get an answer for 21 days. Elijah had to pray 7 times for rain. Abraham had to wait 25 years for his promised child. If we want our prayers answered and promises to become our reality, we have to start fighting like the great men and women of God we read about in Scripture. This is a spiritual war. We have to do our part if we want God to do His.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Fight Like A Child of God.

Hold To The Great Hope

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession who are zealous for good works. ~ Titus 2:11-14

We don’t live in utter hopelessness like the world. We have hope that the LORD will fulfill His promises and come back for us. No matter how dark the world around us gets, the Light of the World dwells in us and through us. We have been saved by grace through faith that we might no longer be a slave to sin, but now we are free in Christ Jesus. We have hope. One day our God will wipe away every tear from our eyes and give us a new earth that is perfect for us to live with Him forever. So, don’t let the world around you bring you down or take your joy; there is always hope.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Hold To The Great Hope.

Humble Yourself Before Judgment Day

12 For the Lord corrects those He loves, just as a father corrects a child in whom he delights. ~ Proverbs 3:12

Correction is a process that the majority of us don’t look forward to. We don’t like to know that we’re doing something wrong, especially if it’s something we like. It feels almost like a personal attack when we’re corrected, but then we miss why we’re being corrected. I’ve heard so many people that say, ‘If you’re not God and this isn’t Judgment Day, you have no right to judge me.’ Like the majority of people, I’m not a fan of correction, but I’d much rather know that I’m doing something wrong so I can correct it before Judgment Day comes when it’ll be too late to do anything about it.

Something that we have to understand is that correction isn’t a personal attack on the person getting corrected; it’s a chance given to us to better ourselves before it’s too late. What if someone is correcting us out of hate instead of love? Don’t let someone’s delivery stop you from growing. If someone corrects you accurately, but they do it hatefully, let God deal with their delivery, and you worry about you. That’s not an easy task, but it is a possible one. The moment we stop worrying about our own pride is the moment that other people’s words and judgments won’t tear us down. When we change our focus to God instead of ourselves, these minimal issues don’t seem so big.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Humble Yourself Before Judgment Day.

Be Faithful In The Little

10 One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. ~ Luke 16:10

So often, we want God to take us to the next level. We want to move on from the wilderness, but we just keep going around the mountain, so to speak. Why? A lot of times, it’s because God has given us a small test that we continue to fail. Whether it’s a gift that we have yet to used or a person we have yet witnessed to, God can’t take us to the next level until we’ve proven ourselves in the small things.

There’s no skipping levels or responsibilities with God. You have to first be faithful in the little in order to be faithful in much. You have to first drink milk in order to eat meat. You have to grow in the LORD in order to see signs and wonders. There’s much work for us to do here on this earth, don’t miss your current call because you’re too busy looking at where you aren’t. Start where you are and go from there.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Be Faithful In The Little.

Give Out of Your Little

11 And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, “Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.” 12 And she said, “As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.” 13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.’” 15 And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah. ~ 1 Kings 17: 8–16

The majority of us don’t have millions of dollars to spare. In fact, the majority of us don’t have any to spare. The economy is declining, local stores and restaurants are closing all around us. The land and its people are struggling. And because of all of this causes people to feel hopeless. This is similar to the widow of Sidon. She was a widow with a son in the middle of a famine, and she had nothing. She was prepared to bake one last cake, eat with her son, and die.

Imagine that. This woman had given up all hope. She was preparing to die. Hope was completely gone, yet God in His great mercy didn’t leave this widow, who wasn’t even a Jew, hopeless. He sent Elijah to her so that she might have hope. So that she might live and not die. Her faith was like a little ember dying, but God gave her a chance to ignite the flame one more time.

This is where a lot of us are now. We’re without hope. We’re living in a world filled with sin and darkness. There’s a spiritual famine. There’s a huge economical inflation. There’s no hope, and we are preparing to die, yet God is knocking at the door. He’s asking us to give Him whatever it is that we’re holding on to so that He might multiply it. So that He might bless us with a blessing that is of good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Give Out of Your Little.

Get To The Other Side

3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. ~ Romans 5:3-5

Sometimes you have to go through the storm so that you can get to the other side. But once you get out of your storm, don’t take it with you. Don’t carry your storm with you to your place of freedom. To your place of rest. A lot of the time, we are stuck on the anger from our storm that we can’t see the solution that has been given to us. We can’t see the freedom. We can’t see the healing. We can’t see the blessing. We can’t see the change.

But if we let go of the past and we let go of the trials and tribulations, we can grow. We can find hope. Sometimes God allows us to go through difficult times that we might grow in faith and in hope. Because when we are weak, that’s when God is strong. He carries us when we can’t stand on our own two feet. He shows us His love and mercy, especially when everything else seems to be falling apart. So, don’t be discouraged in trials and tribulations; the LORD, your God, is with you. Encourage yourself in His Word, and He will give you strength that you may run the race set before you and not grow weary.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Get To The Other Side.

Speak His Promises

6 And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. ~ 1 Samuel 30:6

Hopelessness and despair had taken over these warriors. Men hardened from the ware of battle broke down and cried because the Amalekites had burned their homes, kidnapped their families, and had stolen all of their wealth.

Each man was sorrowful and grieved in his heart. They saw no hope. They heard no hope. They had no hope. These war-hardened men were in a state of hopelessness, but David, the Bible tells us, encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

I’m here to tell you there is hope. I don’t know what you’re going through; maybe you are dealing with grief like these men were. Maybe you lost a loved one due to COVID19. Maybe the lockdowns and restrictions are getting to you, and you feel hopelessness creeping in.

I’m here to say there is hope. It’s not a cliché. It is the truth. Believe in God, also, believe in Jesus who died for you and who is coming back to get you. These things that we must endure now are only light afflictions when compared to eternity. Remind yourself, if I can only but touch the hem of His garment, that will be enough.

So, encourage yourself in the LORD. Think about these things. For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. If you think I’m healed. You will be healed, but if you think I’m sick and there is nothing that can be done for me, you’ve lost already.

Say:

    • I will live and not die
    • I have salvation in Jesus, because Jesus loves me and He died for me
    • Jesus is coming back for me
    • The God of all creation is interested and cares about little old me

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Speak His Promises.

Preach Hope

36 When He (Jesus) saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ~ Matthew 9:36

Jesus was preaching and teaching and healing the sick, but when he saw how many of them it was, His heart went out to them because of the harassing spirits and the helplessness of their situation. It is the same today. Not much has changed. People are still harassed. People are still sick. People are even more overwhelmed.

Jesus came to bring hope to the hopelessness, and that’s what we’ve gotta preach. The Hebrew writer said that they put up with all sorts of things because they had a better hope. What better hope than the hope that Jesus offers.

    • The hope of eternal life
    • The hope of no more suffering
    • The hope of no more persecution
    • The hope of no more hardships
    • The hope of reuniting with past loved ones

When Jesus comes, it’ll be a time of blissfulness with no more worries. No more hopelessness. A time of rejoicing and reunions with loved ones and friends that have gone on before. It will be a time of great celebration because God will put all things once and for all under the feet of Jesus.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Preach Hope.
