Galatians 6:1-10

Reflect
Living with other people is not easy and Paul gives us some good counsel on what it means to be a Christian living in community with other believers and non-believers.

As Jesus followers, we are to walk with other believers, not judge them. If a fellow brother or sister in faith is struggling or falling into sin, we are to help them carry that load and bring them along to a restored state. Key in this process is doing it with humility. We are not to judge our lives against other people’s lives, because all of us will stand before God who will be the final judge.

This passage reminds us of the parable of the good Samaritan, and how we are to be more like the Samaritan, extending kindness with humility to those around us.

As we walk out our faith in the freedom we have, may it be with a huge dose of humility and grace for one another.

Pray for Priscilla Project (Hungry for Life)
Priscilla Project is equipping, educating and empowering women. In India, women are mainly limited to household work, which is not seen as work, so many feel like they don’t have any self-worth. They are very poor, so they have daily jobs like maidservants or on construction sites, etc.. Many of these women are abused or downgraded. The Priscilla project provides these women with skills training such as cosmetology and tailoring with the purpose of earning much needed income, increasing their self-worth, increasing their stature at home and in society. Sewing training workshops have started up again. Fifteen women were able to go through the first workshop, which lasted 6 months, after which another workshop for another 15 women will begin. In the fall of 2022, God opened the doors and provided for the Priscilla project to open eight more training centres, all located in the northern part of India.
