Helping others on their journey

Today, the theme that keeps coming to my mind is: Helping Others.  Helping others tends to my natural state of being.  It is something I do without thinking really. 

 

So I did a Google Searched and came up with this link:   http://www.openbible.info/topics/helping_others

From this link I picked two verses that I think apply to how I've been feeling on this subject:

Galatians 6:2 ESV (same in NRSV)

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Philippians 2:4 ESV (similar to NRSV)

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Bearing one another burdens...not always a good thing for long periods of time but temporarily until the person can get stabilized...that is good because we all can use that kind of help at some point.

When we look only at our own interests...I think we become self-centered.   When we look out for the interests of others then we can help out and maybe we'll be helped out in the process.

I have a feeling Satan doesn't want me to share these thoughts with you.  Someone or something keeps putting obstacles in my path.  But I did complete what I feel is my thoughts for today and put them out for you my Brothers and Sisters in Christ to see.
