Intro: Hi, this is Dorette Schaal with your dailyeword. This week we are talking about helping to lighten each others load, and becoming a cheerleader for our friends and loved ones. Gal 6:2 tells us to carry each other’s burdens, and Hebrews 3:13 tells us to encourage one another daily. Here are some encouraging words about enriching our relationships by cheering for each other, and helping carry each other’s burdens.
Serve one another with a heart of love, it says in Gal 5:13. We have an awesome team of people who cook meals for people who are sick, or new moms who have just had a baby, or for anyone who is home bound for any reason. What is amazing is most of the time, they might be familiar with the person they are cooking for, but not always. They have a heart to serve out of need. What often happens at our church is when a new mom has her darling, precious baby, her Bible Study group will call our Hospitality Meal Coordinator and say, we’ve got this new mom covered. They have relationship with her, and they are more than willing to bring her meals, for as long as she needs them. They are not serving just out of need, they are serving out of love. Can you find some way to serve someone today? It is always good to find a need and fill it, but how about just doing something out of love. Your neighbors might enjoy a plate of cookies. Your husband might enjoy a backrub. The widow next door might have fallen leaves everywhere. Why not make the cookies, rub his back, and rake her leaves! Love speaks loudly through action. You can serve one another out of a heart of love. That is imitating Jesus. It is a great way to live!
