Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a

man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth

himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have

rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear

his own burden.Galatians 6:2-5 (KJV)

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are

something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one

should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves

alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own

load.

Galatians 6:2-5 (NIV)

“There's nothing more intimate in life than simply being

understood. And understanding someone else.”

Brad Meltzer

• Why are we different (how did we come to be that way)?

• Did God intend us to be so different?

• If God intended us to be so different, what are we supposed to learn from that (what was the purpose)?

• How can i learn to appreciate someone else’s differences if they IRRITATE me so much?

• If CHRIST could handle such differences (HEB 12:3) and still wash the feet of His enemy, how DID He do it? And how am i supposed to do that?

Marked diversities of disposition and character frequently exist in the same family, for it is in

the order of God that persons of varied temperament should associate together. When this is the case, each member of the household should sacredly regard the feelings and respect the right of the others. By this means mutual

consideration and forbearance will be cultivated, prejudices will be softened, and

rough points of character smoothed. Harmony may be secured, and the blending of the varied

temperaments may be a benefit to eachEllen White
