Romans 12:15 Rejoice with those Rejoice - Devotional Scripture

 

Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Romans 12:15

We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. We are to weep with those who weep. At times, all we need to do is be close to those who are weeping and in that we let them know we care.   We don’t have to preach at them or speak something profound to them. We just need to weep with them without questioning God’s goodness in the process.

Sometimes, it is harder to rejoice with those who are rejoicing than it is to weep with those who are weeping.  One of the problems is that when something good happens to others, we often compare our lives to them and wonder why they get all the breaks.  Paul says, "Set your own troubles aside for a moment and rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep.
