… “Am I supposed to look after my brother/sister?”

Genesis 4:9b

I Am Her Keeper

As Believers, our union in and with Christ unites us one with another.  Particularly, we are a family and a sisterhood (founded on Christian principles) from all different walks of life joined together for life to serve God and serve humanity.  We have one of the greatest responsibilities ever, and that being, keeping an eye out for each other’s well-being.  We are admonished to seize opportunities to do good towards all humanity. (Galatians 6:10)  This can be achieved by the following:

(1) demonstrating acts of love, compassion, and kindness in word and deed without expectation of anything in return

(2) praying with and for each other without ceasing; considering one’s needs above our own, especially when it’s not convenient

(3) pursuing that which makes for peace and the building up of one another (Romans 14:19)

It is important to understand being a “keeper” isn’t about a title, rather a determined and intentional approach in and expression of caring for, guarding, and strengthening relationships pleasing and acceptable unto God.  So, to answer the question – “Yes”, we are supposed to look after each other.  And when we do, we can celebrate a bond that inspires, challenges, corrects, protects, and most importantly points others to Jesus.

Beloved sisters of HAC, March is a special time of honoring women around the world; those behind the scenes and on the front lines, those old school and new school, those in our families, communities, workforce, civic, and social circles.  #GameOn to become even more our sister’s keeper, lets knock it out the park – Happy Sisterhood and Women’s History Month!
