Living in Increase (Part 9) - Increase in HealthSample

Celebrate with Others

When the people in my life are hurting, I’m hurting with them. When they are excited and happy, I’m excited for them. When I’m hurting, they hurt. When I’m excited, they are too. That is one of the best parts of having a group of people in our lives. We literally “do life” together.

Who do we share our triumphs and heartaches with if we’re alone?

Lord, thank you for creating us all differently but similarly, so that we may find common interests with one another–especially our love for you. Thank you, Jesus, for showing us what it means to have a strong friend group. I lift those to you who are without a friend group. Guide them to their people. Break our hearts for them so we can see past ourselves and into the hearts of the ones we love. In Jesus’s name, amen.
