Galatians 6:1-5

The Message

Nothing but the Cross

6 ^1-3 Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day’s out. Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.

^4-5 Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.

 
For Reflection

Live Creatively, be supportive.
Live Creatively, be humble.
Live Creatively, be forgiving.
Live Creatively, share burdens.

Live Creatively, work for justice.
Live Creatively, know yourself as a child of God.
Live Creatively, commit to the will of God.
Live Creatively, embrace the responsibility of your rebirth,

                           of your transformation,

                           of your evolving reconciliation to God.

LIVE CREATIVELY!

 

Pray

to live creative lives, to build rather than destroy, to love, to up-lift, and to heal.
