One thing that I have noticed about myself and also about others like me is that we are very big on carrying other people's burdens.
I would gladly take on the emotional and physical weight of my friends and family, and this is a good thing. But here's the deal - that should be a two way street.
In Galatians 6:2 it says that we are supposed to bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. That means that not only do I carry yours but you carry mine.
What I realized is that if I don't let anyone help me carry my burdens then I refuse them the privilege that I so gladly provide them.
That's the way God designed us to work.
