READ
1 Corinthians 12:22-27
22 In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. 23 And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen, 24 while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity. 25 This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. 26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. 27 All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it
Galatians 6:10 (NLT)
“Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone— especially to those in the family of faith.”

REFLECT
You’re not alone. If you’re a part of a body, you’re not some floating Christian out there, wandering in the wilderness, condemned to a life of isolation. You’re a part of a whole, a part of a church, a part of a body! You are a part of Trinity New Life Church.

PRAY
"Forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us."
Lord Jesus, I am not worthy of the forgiveness you give to me. There are times that I am blind to the anger in my heart. Open my eyes so that I may unburden my heart from that anger. Soften my heart so that I may treat those who have wronged me with compassion. I humbly ask that you guide me with your counsel. Show me the way to forgive others as you have shown forgiveness to me.
