Listen from:
Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:22Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2)
AL 6:2{CT 20:19{Perhaps you have never thought of the burdens of those around you. Then if you want to fulfill this law of Christ, the first thing will be to find out who has any burdens, and which of them you could bear instead. You will not have to watch long! There are very few without any. And if, for a moment a burden that you have taken up does seem rather hard, and you are tempted to drop it again, think of what the Lord Jesus bore for you! Think how He took up the heaviest burden of all for you, when He, His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree! He did not drop that burden, but bore it till He died under it. Think of that, and it will be easy then to bear something for His sake. Now be on the watch all day for burdens to bear for others. See how many you can find out and pick up, and carry away! Depend upon it, you will not only make it a brighter day for others, but for yourself too!
Then let it be
The motto of our lives until we stand
In the great freedom of eternity,
Where we "shall serve Him" while we see His face,
Forever and forever "Free to serve.”
