It takes all kinds to help reach new heights and humility to be a part of a team. We all need a special friend who can help us get to the food for our soul and help us grow. Today we are reading John 3:22-36 and sharing some thoughts to apply our faith at home, work, and in everything we do.

Within today’s passage, John’s disciples questioned the authority of Jesus to baptize. John explains that he was sent ahead of Jesus but that Jesus is the Messiah. Then he explains that his relationship with Jesus is like a friend who attends the bridegroom. Jesus must become greater and he must become less (v. 30).

The thought today is that each member of the body of Christ has certain gifts, abilities, and accomplishments that benefit the team with the objective of helping people participate in eternal life. As a Christian, there should not be envy. Each does their part to encourage others to do their part for the team. All who accept Jesus will be rewarded because God’s kingdom has abundance, and the Spirit has no limit!

This day Lord, we are thankful that we have help from each other to get to food for the soul. We all need a special friend to help grow in our faith. We are never alone and work together as one now and forever with humility to reach new heights. Amen.
