Observing and doing the works in which Jesus taught us, is fulfilling the law of Christ, which is to say…His doctrine of loving one another.  Observing acts of kindness, can be understood fully, when we look to Jesus for an example.

Taking the time to hear, or pray for someone, who is hurting, emotionally or physically…is one way to cohesively work through the body of Christ.  Helping someone in need, bringing food to a local shelter, volunteering/shopping for someone in your town, who can no longer get around, praying for someone going through a crisis.  The list goes on and on, but it all amounts to “helping each other” and while we do, we are glorifying, and honoring God, in the process.

Praying for someone, might help them find their spirituality if it’s God’s will.  Or it may help them find a restoration, or affirmation in Christ, and his love.  Or it may simply mean, God laid it upon our hearts, for reasons only He is aware of which may or may not be revealed later on.

Whenever we are called to help, we are called as one body in Christ.  We are also fulfilling our roles as followers of Christ, while offering our fruits, in a labor of love.

Help where you can.

Call when you can.

Offer your services when you can.

Pray daily while offering to pray for those who need it.

Honor Christ in all you do.

These few ways of connecting with others, can galvanize the meaning of love, in the body of Christ.

“Father God, may I be of service to those you send, may I be a light and example to others in Your name, and may I help those with burdens as I pray in Your precious and powerful name, Amen.”

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are spiritual that is, you who are responsive to the guidance of the Spirit are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness, keeping a watchful eye on yourself, so that you are not tempted as well.  Carry one another’s burdens and in this way you will fulfill the requirements of the law of Christ that is, the law of Christian love.

Galatians 6:1-2
