Galatians 6:2, (The Living Bible)
"Share each other's troubles and problems, and so
obey our Lord's command"
The North American Indians had no written language before
they met the white man. Their language, however, was far from primitive. Many
of the Indians had as many words in their vocabulary as their English and
French exploiters. Some of their words were much more picturesque, too. For
example, "friend" to the Indians was
"one-who-carries-my-sorrows-on-his-back."
Everybody needs at least one trusted
"Indian-type" friend with whom he or she can share his or her deepest
sorrows and painful feelings. We all need a helping hand and a listening ear
when we're going through difficult times.
Are you an "Indian-type” friend? Why not ask God to
help you become “one-who-carries-my-sorrows-on-his-back" type of friend
today. What better way to show God’s love to those we call our friends.
Dear Lord help us to be an "Indian-type" friend
today. Help us show Your love to those around us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
