“Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 (NIV)
The huge Sequoia trees of California tower as much as 300 feet above ground.
Some were alive when Jesus walked on the earth.
Strangely, these massive giants have unusually shallow root systems.
But you won’t find these redwoods standing alone.
They grow in clusters because high winds would otherwise quickly uproot them.
Their intertwining roots provide support against the storms.
Friend, in this world, you can expect the storms of life.
But as the Church, the Body of Christ, we must support one another through tough times.
Don’t be too proud to admit your need.
And when you try to go it alone, you are in the greatest danger of falling.
Yes, friend, the Church is a mighty forest only when you assist others through the storms.
