Galatians 6:1-5 Did you ever find a person in your life,that did not deserve this from you?? I sure have! Why, why should I restore this person in you Lord Jesus!!?? They would not be thankful! If fact they might even say meaner things to me!! And all I am doing is looking to help! So why bother!

Yes indeed brothers and sisters I have been in this crack on the road! I have twisted my foot more then a few times in this! Why I even used scripture!! Lord you know you do not want me to take on any weights!!( hebrews 12:1!!) Here is the purpose to this scripture!Verse 1 Brethren even if anyone is caught in any trespass,YOU!!! who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness;each one looking to yourself,so that you too will not be tempted.

Always a purpose to our deeds brothers and sisters.Verse 2 Bear one anothers burdens,and thereby fulfill the Law of Christ!( which is what???( rom 13:10) LOVE! verse 3 For if anyone( we are the anyone hear) thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself!( Who are we without Christ in us?And in our very lives??) verse 4 But each one must examine his own what????amen WORK.and then!! he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone,and not in regard to another.( 2 Cor 13:5)and 1 Cor 1:30-31)

Verse 5 For each one will bear his own load. When we restore another we become restored even more in Christ"s Jesus LOVE! restoring is like unto putting water on someone who is on fire! God's refreshing water! If you pour a bucket of water on someone,if you stay as close to that person, will not the water be splashed on you as well?

Love shares! Love becomes a part of what you yourself are sharing to another! and we also know that this love covers a ton of sin!( 1 Peter 4:8) When we restore another,we become restored. The Law of the Spirit cannot be changed! What ever we give,we receive! And usually in a much greater amount! How many times have we all tested this fact?? Sometimes more then we wished to! In the bad way!

Rather then in the Lord's way! For restoring is the way of Jesus,sometimes we take our eyes off of him as we are following him,so Jesus stops,and comes to us to restore us,showing us to do the very same to another. The joy of following comes in the fact that we know we will be restored! And we know we are restored,because we ourselves restore another in HIM! Grace means service,( gal 5:1-11)service means restoring another,and restoring another shows both them and us the very nature of our God! LOVE restores! It can restore because Jesus is in us! Praise the Lord!
 
Praise God BrightHouse!

Today I was facing this struggle as I woke up. As you know i've gone through some stuff with my sister and as of lately it seems this spiritual division has gotten alot bigger between us. Well, this morning I woke feeling like " what is the use I don't even want to deal with this Lord...I've tried and its so hard to keep loving when you don't feel that love coming back in return to you" Then I end up coming to Talk to Jesus and seeing this post that Jesus in you had you put up. Reaffirming to me that I am not to give up but do as Jesus has set before me to do...to love despite how I feel or situation that may be going on around me. To stand strong in Him and know that He is working and in Loving I am still sharing not my Love but His love...stay in Me, pray, and Love that is what you need to do...this is what was given to me today when I read this post. For if we stop Loving who then will be the light of our Lord Jesus to others. We are the light for
our Lord so we must let it shine nonstop and Love even when we do not feel like it or in times when we are weary LOVE because God never gave up on us and in Love gave His Son so we would no longer be seperated from Him again.

Thank you Mark for this post it has greatly touched me and encouraged me as I am sure it will do for many others.
