Being There-DD 3/28/2011

"Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ." Gal 6:2 Beloved, none of us are Christians in isolation. When we obeyed the gospel, we became members of a family; the family of God. More importantly, we became members of the body of Christ. In every body, each member has its place and its function. Each one depends on others to provide functions it cannot provide itself. Each member also finds its purpose in being able to provide the functions it is uniquely qualified to provide. The fact is, we need each other. Each of us knows what it is like to hurt and to be alone. Each of us knows what it is like to have need. As Christians, united by a common faith and a common Father, we are siblings in the best sense of the word. Who better to be there in a time of need? When things get a bit heavy, it is our Christian brothers and sisters to whom we should be able to turn. Let us remember that a big part of our Christianity is other Christians. As God is, we must also be a present help in a time of need. Loving Like Jesus, Lee
