Burden Bearing

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the Law of Christ." (Gal. 6:2)

17 Days Left on the Maker's Diet





I believe the greatest thing we can do in the Body of Christ is to bear each other's burdens. I don't mean this in an "unhealthy" way either. I mean being led of the Holy Spirit and allowing His Spirit to lead us to the person needing comfort.

I am thankful for all the relationships that have formed from this Diet. It is not so much the eating right, the wealth of information about clean eating, or the science behind "whole foods." All of that is wonderful and it has its place. But what kind of class would it be if all we did was hear the teaching, say goodnight, and head home? I am sad to say that this does take place. (Not to my awareness in our class..but I have seen it in other instances.)


Sometimes we get too caught up in the "mechanics" of learning about healing rather than the person involved in the healing. Getting to know a person, their heart, their struggles, involves some investment. Jesus was never mechanical when it came to ministry. Our class is no different. We are ministering to our Body, our Soul, and our spirit. Having said that, how can we just touch on the subject of food, and say, "Ok, thanks for comin out, now take your burdens and beat it." IS that what JESUS would do?


"Someone touched me. Power has gone out from me." (Luke 8:46) Let it be that each time we gather, we touch Jesus, and get the blessing of His Power over our weakness.


Everytime the saints gather together, let our hearts be yielded to learning viable information, but more so, let our hearts desire to touch the Master. In doing so, we touch one another and lighten burdens often too heavy for us to carry. And there is no weight that compares to spiritual weight.

Lord Jesus, help us to carry each other's burdens as our own. In doing so, we can assure that you relieve us of our burdens. We thank you, Lord, for our sisters and the love that you have given us for one another. May we truly want victory for them as much as for ourselves. Amen.
