“Karen’s Notes!
Insights from a Glory-Bound Lady”

Selected Notes
Volume 2 Number 17 “The Amazing Example of the Lord Jesus”
April 24th, 2019

I am holding her Bible as I am preparing this edition of “Karen’s Notes.” Let me write out Romans 15:1-3 and then I will share what she wrote.

“We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification. For even Christ pleased not Himself; but, as it is written, the reproaches of them that reproached Thee fell on me.”

Karen circled the word “ought” in Romans 15:1.

Karen wrote: Be burden bearers. We need to put others first. Jesus touched the leper, forgave the adulterous woman, healed the nobleman’s son, and was also patient with His own inner circle. He’s still working on me.

Michael’s observation: Throughout our marriage I had the privilege of seeing the Lord Jesus working in Karen’s life. Her writing was not mere words. It was the prayer of her heart. How very important it should be to us not to get so busy in our own immediate circumstances that we fail to consider what others are experiencing and how we can bear their burdens with them.
