Forgiving others builds up the spir=
itual connection that we have with each other.  In this lesson of rest=
oration, Paul tells the Galatians that we must “carry each other’s burdens”=
, and not just restore a person only to leave them alone.  It fulfills=
the “law of Christ”.  Remember Jesus commanded us that “we must love =
one another” (John 13:34).  We do this with our friends all the time.&=
nbsp; When we are down and troubled, a phone call, text message, or a visit=
to a friend so they can help share the load of life can be a blessing.&nbs=
p; And we are glad to reciprocate when they need us.  God, in our text=
, is trying to get us to extend the invitation to whoever He brings our way=
…   

O Lord, help me to bless others as they have been a blessing to me.&nbsp=
; I ask that you give me the insight to be a burden bearer for someone in n=
eed, and give me the words to speak to be a comfort to Your children. =
Teach me to look beyond someone’s faults, and see their need, in Jesus nam=
e,   AMEN
