Burdens

"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."  – Galatians 6:2

God places people in our lives for two reasons: that they may learn the depths of His love through us, or, that we may learn the depths of His love through them. He is aware of what they lack, or what we may need. God does nothing by accident. When He places you, immediately go to Him in prayer, “You put me here for a reason. You knew this was going to happen. What do want to do through me that would help this person become closer to You?” 

Recognizing a need in someone’s life can be one of the greatest invitations from God you will ever experience. Allow God to help you see beyond the obvious, to the things He wants to accomplish, and the lessons that He wants you to learn. 

Is God blessing you financially? It may be He is developing a “depot” through which He can provide for others. Has God granted you a strong, family life? He may need your home to minister to a hurting family. Has God’s peace comforted you in a time of sorrow? It may be that He has opened you to experiences, so that you can now go and carry the burdens of others.

Have you ever asked yourself, "why have I been so blessed?" Watch this short video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko_VSKn1DAE

You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
