Scripture
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17 (NIV)

Standing in the strength of our Lord, you are as tough as iron. Under pressure, you may bend, but you never break. You stand up to the toughest challenges and show the world the resiliency that comes with knowing God. But some days, that bending feels unending. While everything around you is heating up, you’re melting down and help feels far away.

Iron sharpens iron. Sometimes in our tough moments, we forget there are other believers—our sisters—who can sharpen us, toughen us and hold us up. In our moments of strength, sometimes we forget our sisters in Christ are out there searching for the support we’ve needed in the past.

Walk into your week remembering that those around you can be inspired by your faith and your faith can be strengthened by their stories. Send a text to your confidant from college. Write a letter to your bestie from Bible study. Sit down and call up that pal who feels like a sister. When you let your network of believers in on what’s going on in your life and offer up your time and heart, everyone will be stronger for it.
