The Approval Process: Act Out Bear one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2 Recommended Reading Galatians 6:1-10 Last October two puppies, brothers Jeffrey and Jermaine, were found wandering the streets of Philadelphia. Though both dogs were frightened and sick, Jeffrey had the greater challenge -- he was blind. Determined to care for his brother, Jermaine literally became a guide dog. He constantly stayed within touching distance of his disabled brother, and Jeffrey leaned on Jermaine for support. Without any training, Jermaine became a guide dog. The puppies were always seen touching each other and even slept holding each other. Their story melted the hearts of Philadelphians, and the brothers had no trouble finding a home. If animals can be that devoted to each other, shouldnt we be the same? Galatians 6 tells us, as we have opportunity, to bear the burdens of others, especially to those who are of the household of faith. We can affirm, appreciate, and approve of others by the way we treat them. We can bear their burdens. Love is worthless unless it acts out, unless its expressed in deed and behavior. Thats not just puppy love; its agape love. Love is seen in what it does. Gladys Aylward
