1. Restore those who are caught in sin.

    (Matthew 7:12, 18:15, Galatians 6:1, Hebrews 12:1)

2. Carry each other’s burdens.

    (Psalm 55:22, Matthew 11:28, Galatians 6:2&5)

 3. We reap what we sow. (Job 4:8, Galatians 6:7-8, James 3:18)

4. Don’t become weary in doing good things.

    (Psalm 126:5, 1 Corinthians 15:58, Galatians 6:9, 1 Peter 4:19)

5. It starts in our hearts.

    (Luke 6:45, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15)

Next steps...

• Ask the Lord whose “burden” He might be calling you to help carry.  And how will you offer them your prayers and support?
• What “seeds” (habits and/or practices) are you “planting” in your life so that you will reap a bountiful harvest of good things one day?
• Read and reflect on 2 Corinthians 5:17 “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”  Invite Jesus to take full control of your heart and to be Lord of every part of your life.
