ON TRAVELLING TOGETHER

i dunno if it's just me, but maybe someone else notices this in their life: whenever i'm going through a struggle, at least a couple other people in my life are facing the same thing. and when we share about what we're dealing with, a beautiful thing happens - we encourage each other.

i haven't really noticed this effect before, but it floors me that God uses our failures to heal each other. or more accurately, He uses our willingness to be transparent about our shortcomings to help each other. we are mutually built up when we carry each other's burdens. there is much joy in that thought, and i can't help but marvel at God's awesome design. :>

Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:2
