Day 5: Interdependent

A Place to Belong · With One Another · May 2, 2026

Scripture
So that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. — 1 Corinthians 12:25-26 (NIV)
1 Corinthians 12:25-26

The body is designed to be connected. When one part suffers, we all suffer. When one part is honored, we all rejoice. This is not natural for us. Our instinct is to compete, compare, and isolate. But the body of Christ calls us to something different — we feel each other's pain and celebrate each other's victories. That only happens when we are actually connected.

Prayer

God, give me a heart that suffers with those who suffer and rejoices with those who rejoice. Remove division and competition from my heart.
