Share in Trouble

Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.
— PHILIPPIANS 4:14 (NIV)

It’s a great feeling to know you have friends to share good times with. Laughter at your birthday party. Tears of joy at your wedding. Celebration during your graduation or the new position you were promoted to. But I’ve found the really good friends are the ones who hang around after the music stops and the food has run out. While the memories made during the good times last forever, the people who stand by during troubling times are priceless.

As a member in the body of Christ, it’s important you encourage one another. Be there not only during the good times, but times of trouble as well. You don’t always have to solve their problem, but sometimes a shoulder to lean on or a kind smile is all that’s needed. What good is a body that doesn’t support its members? Lift one another in love and help carry someone’s burden today.
