Let
Us Do Good To All
Brethren,
if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one
in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill
the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks
himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and
then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.
Let
him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.
Do
not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also
reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he
who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose
heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good
to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:1-10
Do
you ever get discouraged by your apparent lack of spiritual growth? Do you get
up too late to pray to go to bed without reading the Bible?
Why
not tell a trusted friend about the areas of your life in which you want to
grow spiritually and ask that person to pray for and encourage you to be
accountable? Be patient. You will grow as you allow the Holy Spirit to work in
you.
Each small step of faith is a giant step of growth.
