Like in the rainforest, the tall tree roots that reach the sun feed the little lower shrubs and visa versa. In His body, each of our roots feeds the other. As we each walk in the Spirit, we grow in discernment.

I love the picture of Joseph He was falsely accused and imprisoned. He was not bitter. Genesis 39:21 says, “…He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” Watch his discernment. Genesis 40:6 says, “And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad.” Their faces reflected their heart’s inner feelings.

As His body members, we have the opportunity to encourage others through how the Lord has encouraged us. 2 Corinthians 1:4 says, “Who comforts us in our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in any trouble…” 

All trials are designed to try our faith as we are refined. I can share the words the Lord has given me to sustain me in mine, and you can share yours with me ~ synergistic encouragement.
