The Lord is saying: I Am here, and I Am with you. I will never leave you nor forsake you, as you are My child and I Am a good Father. I give to My children good things at the proper time to bless you and for you to bless those around you. When someone is going through difficult times, you who are with the means are to help your brother or sister in need. Then when things are turned around, you can reciprocate My love back to them who have blessed you. This is community based on My love and My ways. This is how you show love to your neighbor and how I Am glorified in it all, for I Am the source of all things good. Do not carry burdens alone, My loves, but share your burdens with your loved ones, that they may help you and minister to you in My Spirit, that you not have to carry such loads. Everything happens in its time, so when you are under great stress, ask your brother or sister for help, that they at least pray for you that I hear from Heaven and see your need. Yes, I already know these things, but I want you to lay down your rights to yourself and let Me help you through others. There are times when I will help you directly, but it is when community is strong that My name is praised. I Am well pleased when you ask of Me for help, for then I send you many friends to help you.
Gal 6:1-10 (ESV) Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. 5 For each will have to bear his own load. 6 Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
(Acts 2:42-47; Ecc 4:9-12; 2 Cor 9:1-15)
