2 Corinthians 6:1 As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.
Ram Dass has a saying, “We are all just walking each other home.” I know nothing about Ram Dass, his views or ideologies, but I think he summed up the purpose of life—for Christians and for everyone—with this saying.
2 Corinthians 6:3 We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.
By helping to walk my fellow humans home, by being an encouragement, a companion, a positive presence, by holding space for those who are struggling, just being there so they know they don’t slog through the muck alone, I am putting God’s grace into action, I am loving God and loving others.
2 Corinthians 6:4 Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses….
Lord, Thank You for the gift of Your grace. Thank You for the knowledge that love, presence, and community in You are essential. Thank You that by walking each other home, we are being Your hands and feet in this world. Amen.
2 Corinthians 6:10 …sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
Have a blessed day.
