Equal Concern For Each Other

 

 

The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are un-presentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.

 

1 Corinthians 12:21-25

 

The world we live in is not reserved for the perfect, the wealthy, or the athletic. Each person is created in the image of God, and is of equal value and significance. Our Lord has compassion for the weak, the broken, and all He has made, and we should mirror that concern.

 

Never underestimate the value of one soul.
