Build Up

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.  Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification. 

Romans 15:1-2

Not all Christians are on equal footing in dealing with difficulties they face.  While one may seem to be scarcely be fazed by a diagnosis of a life threatening disease, another might fall apart when faced with a broken tooth. 

It is not that the latter is especially weak; it is that we all have different strengths.  This being said, we need to show some consideration to those who are struggling, whether the struggle is over something we view as a small matter or a great matter. 

We are to bear with each other, and strive to help each other in the best of times and in the worst of times, and at all times.

For although we are strong today, tomorrow we might be the one who is weak, and who needs someone to encourage us; and those who we edify today, may be the ones who God sends to minister to us.
