Would you rather give or receive? Most people find it hard, or even shaming, to receive help. For the body of Christ to be strong, the strong must help the weak (v.35). Unsaid is the flip side—for the body of Christ to be strong, the weak must accept help. It is easy to identify with the strong givers, such as Paul, as he sacrificed for others. But do not forget to identify with the weak. There are times when we need to be unashamed receivers of the mercy and care of our brothers and sisters.
