I am reminded from time to time of various lessons we can see in the world around us. This past weekend I was camping and where we were camping there was a post for 4 campsites to hook water up to. This meant 4 spickets for the water hoses to connect. 3 of them were connected. When I was using the last spicket to get water the other three stopped spitting out so much water. They each had pressure built up to the point where the line was losing water out the top of the spout. But when I turned on the fourth valve some of that pressure released and there was a little less water shooting out. I am reminded that in some ways this is true in life. Each of us has a pressure valve - a limit to how much pressure we can manage. God has created us with these limits. Each of us has a different valve than the next person, God has created us unique and my pressure may not be your pressure. But when I can help release some of your pressure it makes your load just a little easier. I may not be able to take the whole burden, nor am I meant to, but I can help alleviate the pressure a bit by bearing what parts I can on your behalf.
Would you look today for someone whose burden you can help bear. In doing this Galatians says we will fulfill the law of Christ! (Galatians 6:2)
