As we discussed in an earlier session, we are the Body of Christ - though each of us is an individual, we are meant to be one ''unit'' in God. Together, we are very strong, yet if one of us is weak or hurting, it can affect every other ''link'' in the chain.
How does this apply to you, personally, on an everyday basis? First of all, are you i ...
