Romans 12:15, Rejoice with Them That Do Rejoice

Posted on Posted in Devotions Tagged with , ,

Romans 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

The Christian shares the joys and woes of fellow Christians. When one in the body of Christ is afflicted, the rest of the people of God feels the pain of that brother and sister in Christ. The rest supports in whatever way would encourage and strengthen the faith of such an afflicted or happy one.

There is a blessed tie of Christian love that flows through the body of Christ.

Bless Be the Tie that Binds

Our hearts in Christian love!

The fellowship of kindred minds

Is like to that above.

Before the Father’s throne,

We pour our ardent prayers;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,

Our comforts and our cares.

We share our mutual woes, 

Our mutual burdens bear;

And often for each other flows

The sympathizing tear.

When we asunder part

It gives us inward pain;

we shall still be joined in heart.

And hope to meet again.

May God’s love prevail. Amen.
