Day 6: Carried Into Freedom

The People Who Carried Us · With One Another · May 9, 2026

Scripture
'I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.' He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God. — Mark 2:11-12 (NIV)
Mark 2:11-12

The man who was carried in walked out. That is the power of community. Somebody carries you when you cannot walk. And one day, you walk because they carried you. And then you become the one who carries someone else. That is how the kingdom works. You are not meant to stay on the mat forever. But you might need someone to carry you to the place where you can get up.

Prayer

Jesus, thank You that being carried is not the end of the story. Help me receive the help I need today so I can help someone else tomorrow.
