Bearing One Another's Burdens in Trials

“And all seven said: ‘Without each other, none would have made it’---.” That quote from the Winnipeg Free Press about the seven Canadians held hostage in the Ecuadorian jungle for 100 days. There is a Scripture that says - - “we then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1. Each one had a unique measure of strength and although each one was in the same predicament they shared that strength to uplift their fellow prisoners. As Paul in the Bible said – “when I am weak then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10. We are all connected by our humanity, and we need each other.
