Step In!

Galatians 6:2 – “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

Life’s heavy, y’all. Sometimes it’s like carrying a load of firewood uphill in the rain—just when you think you’ve got a grip, a log slips, smacks you on the shin, and reminds you that you are not nearly as strong as you thought. That’s why God didn’t put us here to go it alone.

Paul tells us in Galatians 6:2 that we’re supposed to bear one another’s burdens. That means when your brother or sister is struggling under the weight of life—whether it’s grief, worry, or just plain exhaustion—you don’t stand back and critique their technique. You step up, grab a piece of that load, and help them carry it.

And here’s the thing: one day, you’re gonna be the one struggling, and you’ll need somebody to come alongside you. That’s how God designed this life—to be lived together, not apart. Jesus Himself bore our burdens all the way to the cross, and when we love others like that, we’re living out His law.

So today, look around. Somebody near you is tired. Somebody’s got a heart that’s breaking. Be the one who steps in, lifts them up, and reminds them they aren’t walking alone. Because when we bear one another’s burdens, we’re not just helping folks—we’re fulfilling the law of Christ. And that, my friends, is what love looks like.
