Galatians 6:2
“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
What it means
No one was meant to stagger under their heaviest weights alone. God designed His family to step underneath each other's burdens, sharing the load with real presence and help. When we do this, we live out the very heart of Jesus, who carried our sin and sorrow all the way to the cross. Caring for one another is not extra credit; it fulfills His law of love. Look around for someone bending low today, and let Christ's love in you become hands that lift.
