Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 1:24... "I don’t mean that we are trying to control your faith. You are strong in faith. But we are workers with you for your own happiness." He and his fellow workers were striving for the happiness of the believers. Paul was not attempting to manipulate their faith, but rather standing in solidarity with them. This passage is a reminder that we should never underestimate the power of companionship and community. When we are surrounded by others who are striving for our own joy and contentment, we can find peace and fulfillment.
This passage encourages us to accept the help of those around us and to be open to support in times of need. We need to remember that we are not alone in our struggles and that there are people who genuinely care about our wellbeing. The comfort and encouragement from others can help us to stay strong in our faith and to find joy amidst difficult circumstances.
When we have the support of our community, we can face anything with confidence. We can stand firm in our beliefs, knowing that we are surrounded by people who have our best interests at heart. This reminder can help us to find joy and peace even in the most trying of times. In the same way that Paul and his fellow workers were striving to bring joy to their readers, we too can bring joy to those around us. Let us strive to be workers for each other’s happiness and support one another in faith.
Remember... Be joyful in everything you do!
