Thought for the Week
from Anglican Mothers Union Australia
Sunday 9th February
Caring
‘Carry each other’s burdens,
and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ’
(Galatians 6:2)
Being a Christian unites us with Christ and so with each other.
The Apostle Peter describes us as ‘a family of believers throughout the world’ (1 Peter 5:9).
This means that we have an obligation to care for each other and to be concerned
to hear about Mothers Union Branches elsewhere. But we can become so committed
to overseas work that we lose sight of the brothers and sisters close at hand.
Our first task is to carry the burdens of the people we know,
the people who are the body of Christ which we are part of in our local church.
I have been saddened sometimes to hear stories of people who are suffering,
being neglected or ignored by their brothers and sisters.
Let us ‘carry each other’s burdens’, and so please the Lord Jesus.
Question for thought:
Do I have an eye for those who suffer and are in want and do I try to help them if I can?
Gracious Heavenly Father, we pray for the Diocese of New Westminster in Canada as they reach out
to families in need with support in marriage preparation, parenting programs and soup kitchens.
Please unite them in prayer and enable them to share your love for the world. Amen
