One of the great things I see at school is young people that are willing to get involved and lend a hand. There are several community service groups that help out around the school and throughout the community. Some of our sports teams even do community service to help younger kids in the community be able to enjoy activities.
We are reminded in the Bible to love and help one another. We all know that there are people with burdens all around us. Many of us have our own burdens, too. When we take the time to help each other, all of these burdens can become lighter. The task of surviving and making it through life becomes easier and happier when there are others on our side. Jesus showed us how to love, how to help, and, ultimately, how to bear a burden that wasn't His. We can learn from Jesus, then set out to love and help bear one another's burdens!
Help out wherever and whenever you can. Just like Jesus showed us!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Jesus and for Him bearing the burden of my sin. Help me to help out by spreading Your love and helping to lighten the load of someone else. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
