Daily Devo | The Space Between Independence & Codependence (New Testament in a Year, Galatians 6)

In closing his letter, Paul encourages us to help carry one another's burdens but then encourages us to carry our own burdens. Which is it? Do we carry one another's burden or just our own? In-between independence and codependence, Paul maps out a space for interdependence, or community. The goal is to help one another become full, participating members of a community who walks through life together, without comparison, without pride, and without any sense of superiority to others. In short, it is the way of the cross.

For Reflection:

- How do I typically respond when I see someone else struggling with sin?

- Whose burdens might God be calling me to help carry right now?

- Are there areas where pride is preventing me from being able to ask for help?

- What does it mean for me to boast only in the cross of Christ?

- Prayer: Lord, help me to love myself and others without comparison, drawing my worth from the cross of Jesus.
