1513) One of the worst feelings you can experience is feeling alone. You’re sitting there in a pain no one else is aware of, or worse yet, no one else seems to care about. We weren’t meant to be alone and there are many Bible verses that tell us this very thing and there is one specific verse that tells us why it’s important to allow people into our lives and it’s 1 Corinthians 12:26.

Here, Paul tells us our Christian family is much like a human body. Each part depends on the others and when one part is “sick” or suffers, as Paul wrote it, every other part suffers with it. In this picture, it’s almost as if the rest of the body supports the part that is ill.

It is often beyond our abilities to help someone else who is suffering; to make the pain go away, but we can support one another. This support can help make the load lighter for the one who is suffering.
