Together: A 5-Day Prayer for Unity Among BelieversVoorbeeld

Your People

It is hard to fit in sometimes. Groups are everywhere—the athletes, sororities, fraternities, the studious, the student government, the religious, the gamers . . . the lists go on and on. Although these groups can sometimes turn into cliques, we can also admit that once we fit into a group, we feel secure. We feel known. Once you find “your people,” it is easy to become yourself without shame or fear of rejection.

Paul tells us in this passage that once we are in Christ, we become part of a large body of believers. We are in Jesus’ group. This body is made up of many different groups and types of people, but we all have the same goal: to bring God glory with our lives. Though we have differences, we are called to love, serve, and accept those in the body so we can work together to win everyone to Christ.

God made you just as you are and placed you just where you are for His purpose. So invest yourself into serving His church, for He has given you something special to contribute by bringing you together with His family!

Prayer
God, help me to use my unique abilities to bring You glory. Let me serve other believers around me to further Your kingdom.
