Today's Verse: Romans 12:15

Wednesday, May 28, 1958

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
— Romans 12:15

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We are not alone. God has given us each other to live our lives for him and get us back home to him. Along the way, we want to share each other's burdens, soar on each other's joys, and love each other through our hurts. There should be no such thing as a solo Christian. If a brother or sister is struggling in life and feels alone, let's decide to walk with them, sharing both their joys and sorrows. We demonstrate our love for Jesus in the ways we love each other, demonstrating that we are followers of Jesus (John 13:34-35; 1 John 3:16-18).

My Prayer...

Loving Father, lead me to the people today who need their burdens lifted and their joys celebrated. Let me be your presence in the life of another believer today. I ask to be more like Jesus and pray in the power and authority of his name. Amen.
