Bible Verse of The Day – 6-7-19

Romans 12:15 (NKJV) 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 

As believers, God wants us to be encouraging and supportive of those around us. It’s one of the ways that we emulate God and shine His light for everyone to see. 

This holds true, whether we are surrounded by believers or by unbelievers. 

It’s easy to be godly when we are surrounded by other believers. But when surrounded by unbelievers, not so much. 

Do we carry God’s spirit within us? Absolutely! If so, then we shouldn’t have a major problem with being kind and supportive of anyone that God tells us to be kind and supportive of! 

Now, that doesn’t mean that it will always be easy. On the contrary, it will sometimes be quite difficult. But that doesn’t excuse us from doing it. 

Sometimes we just have to bear down and take the heat, so to speak, as we do what God has told us we need to do. 

It might not always give us the “warm fuzzies” while we’re doing it, especially if we are being persecuted or treated poorly. But our eyes need to be kept on the goal, the prize that God’s word speaks of, not on the here and now. 

As we push through and obey God’s leading, He will be our reward. He is the One we live to please. 

Empathy is something that God wants us to learn and carry out in our lives as we compassionately interact with others.
