Dinner With JesusUzorak

We might live in the most connected time in human history. And yet, in many ways, we’re more isolated than we’ve ever been before. We might have lots of connections, but when it comes to living with interdependence, we’re more used to having siloed lives. This passage in Romans reminds us that we belong to one another—and not just because community is good for us. But because we can’t do it without each other. We need each other.

That means we should never disqualify ourselves or others for what we each bring to the table. Every one of us matters every one of us is needed, and every one of us contributes something unique and necessary. Today, when you’re tempted to discount yourself or someone else, remind yourself God made us need one another, and look for ways to appreciate the part of you or someone else you’re inclined to dismiss.
