Support Beam

 

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. -- Galatians 6:2

BEAR - Take Up, Endure, Tolerate, Support

SUPPORT - To bear or hold up; To sustain or withstand without giving way; To undergo or endure with patience and submission; to tolerate

This is what happens when we pray for each other. We 'Lift them Up' to God and God does the rest. But when we LIFT up each other in prayer, we are Bearing Up beneath them to hold them up. We are the Support Beam that raises them when they begin to fail. 

We hold them up with the body of Christ in our hearts:

--with our eyes we see a need and lift it up

--with our hands we bring them in

--with our arms we embrace, encourage and strengthen

--with our shoulders we catch their tears

--with our legs we take a stance and hold them fast where we stand

--with our feet we remain in an immoveable position, without sliding or slipping

--with our head (mind, mind of Christ, we remember each other's needs

--with our tongue we speak the Word of Life

--with our lips we praise God

--with our heart we Love One Another as Christ has Loved Us
