Teamwork

"Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."
Galations 6:1-2

It encourages me sooo much reading the blogs of my fellow brothers and sisters.. To be able to relate and just acknowledge each others struggles and joys makes me feel like I am not so alone in this world. It's almost absurd how we dig ourselves deeper into our holes of depression because we think that we are the only ones with problems and everyone else is all happy happy joy joy- when all we have to do is make Christ our mediator. He commands us to do the exact opposite of hiding all of our burdens; rather, we should be lifting each other up. I've been struggling and stressing so much lately with that. Sometimes my zeal and my passion to serve God takes me away into my own little zone and I want to do everything. That leads to an overwhelming amount of work and responsibilities on my shoulders and then I start to become bitter at others for not helping. What started with pure godly passion, Satan somehow manipulates that into my own selfish goals and desires. I really want to find a way to get each other motivated to serve with the right heart and attitude. I want us to work together in unity and help carry each others burdens.
