Burden Bearing and NO Elbow Grease!

No, this is NOT some horror picture.

But I will be the first to admit it kind of looks strange. But hang with me here, and I guarantee it will make sense shortly.

The other day while showering, the LORD spoke to me and said: "Son, wash your right elbow with your right hand".

Of course instantly I said "LORD that is impossible".

DADDY (the LORD) continued: "Do you have some sort of defect? Are you hurting or lame, that is limiting you from washing your right elbow?"

"Not at all, LORD" wondering where HE was going with all this.

"So," the LORD continued, "how will you wash your right elbow?"

"Easily with my left hand" I answered.

"Exactly!" as HE seemed pleased with my answer, and note, HE always seems pleased with me. That is called GRACE.

Then the LORD said; "And so it is with your fellowship, your family. There are some in your group, with burdens, troubles that they can not clean up or fix. Like the right hand, washing the right elbow. But there are those in the family, in your fellowship of believers that can without any effort do the job. Like the left hand to the right elbow, they don't even think about it, but easily do it."

"This", HE carried on with saying, "is what it means to bear one anothers burdens". Galatians 6:2

"There is no way for one to carry it, as they were NEVER meant to carry it, and simple for others to carry it, as they are gifted in other ways to be strong and to build up what is missing in the other. Fill the others need, yes easily carry the others burden. "

"Impossible for one - Easy for the other".
