When we go through trials, it’s easy to look around and think, “Why doesn’t she have this problem? Am I the only one going through this?” or “Why does God heal him but not me?” or “Why is my marriage in pieces, and that other couple is so blessed?”
The truth is we all have trials on this earth. None of us are exempt.
And those people you think have it all together — they don’t.
God didn’t promise everything would go our way. But He did promise to be with us. The journey you’re on looks different from the journey I’m on because there are different parts of our hearts He’s growing and changing to conform us to His image. But He means for us to make this journey together, with Him and with each other. What He’s teaching you I will need on my road, too. And what He’s teaching me, you will need.
Let’s walk as one in Him together.
Is there someone who needs the love of Christ in you today? Reach out.
Is there someone walking with the Lord in an area of your life you know you need to grow in? Find a way to spend time with them and learn from them.
We each have our strengths and weaknesses, the ways we are more “mature” in our walk with Christ, and the ways we need to “grow up.”
We as the body of Christ are like a diamond with many facets. We each individually reflect the Lord, but together we are absolutely breathtaking, perfect, sparkling for His glory! Ephesians 4:1-16.
Lord, help us walk together as one, rejoicing in each others’ strengths and lifting up those who are weak. Is there someone You want me to walk alongside so I can learn and grow in the areas where they are strong in You? Show me, Lord. Are there others You want me to reach out to in order to encourage and strengthen, maybe even disciple? Show me, Lord, and open up the way for that to happen. Grow us in our gifts, anoint us with Your love as we step out in Your Spirit’s leading. Show us how to walk with each other through every trial, praying for each other, listening, encouraging, loving…. Bring to each of us those who will be the body of Christ together with us. And give us courage to understand, love and forgive one another. Let us see each other through Your eyes, laying down our own opinions and asking You for Yours instead. Teach us what it means to walk in oneness with You and with each other. John 17.
