SHARED LOAD

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



Regarding teamwork, Christian author Virginia Whitman wrote that when the South Asian Weaver ants build a nest, “a column of them lines up on the edge of a tree leaf, clinging to it with their hind legs while reaching for another with their front limbs. With team work they bring the two leaf edges together. Meanwhile, another team of them have lined up in readiness on the underside of the leaf. Each ant is holding a live larva of his own breed that he proceeds to use as a squeeze tube source of threads to fasten two leaves together. Successive leaves are woven together in this fashion until a nest has been completed.” It's interesting how Biblical principals can be used by even the smallest of God's creations. If Christians could sincerely carry each other's burdens, all types of problems could be solved. Challenges big and small would be dealt with as a shared load, without judgment from our brothers and sisters. And ultimately, huge things could be accomplished in the name our Father in heaven.
