As we are talking about “Thriving in 2025,” and how we do that, the question God has placed on my heart all week is….

“Do you thrive alone or together?”

“From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”

Ephesians 4:16

This verse undeniably demonstrates that together we grow and build each other up as each one of us is INTERDEPENDENT on each other. 

The I in THRIVE is INTERDEPENDENT!

We need to be together, not alone, in order to grow, build each other up and THRIVE!

Interdependence in the body of Christ is vital for Christian growth and THRIVING because it reflects the biblical principle that all believers are connected as part of a greater whole!

We contribute to the each other’s spiritual development as we use our gifts and are built up and encouraged by the gifts of others!

Just as a human body relies on all its parts to function properly, God’s children, you and I, THRIVE when believers support, encourage, and BUILD ONE ANOTHER UP! 

This mutual dependence fosters an environment where individuals can grow in grace, knowledge, and holiness. The diverse gifts and roles within the body allow for a more complete expression of Christ’s love and purpose! In being together we help each other to mature in our relationship with God and His call on our life!

I believe that INTERDEPENDENCE  helps us experience both personal growth and collective growth and leads us to THRIVE and flourish as we become all God created us to be!

TRUTH BOMB

ISOLATION KILLS BUT INTERDEPENDENCE BUILDS!

INTERDEPENDENCE not only builds us up and creates unity among believers, but it also helps us develop an intimate and right relationship with God!

So let’s continue to thrive in 2025 as we work on becoming interdependent with God first, and others next!
