You Gotta Have Friends
I didn't have friends as a kid - I was the one picked on and ridiculed at school. Thankfully, God has changed that and blessed me with several great friends. Some have been with me for a season and others are in for the long haul.
Remember that song, "You gotta have friends?" That line started playing in my mind when I read this:
It's better to have a partner than go it alone. Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps. But if there's no one to help, tough!
Eccl. 4:9-10 Message
We need each other to help us get through our adventure on earth. God said in Genesis that it is not good for man to be alone. That is why He made Eve. Life is the way God intended it when we let other people be part of it.
God puts people in our lives so we can help each other through life. This call of God is on every persons life - to reach out and assist others in their time of need.
Life is tough enough as it is and when we isolate ourselves, we miss out on the opportunity for God to work amongst us if we try to go it alone.
When we are celebrating, our joy and happiness is contagious and seems to increase the more people are included in the celebration. When we are heartbroken, our load seems lighter after sharing it with another.
Bonds are formed when we go through things together. Our successes inspire others to keep going. Our missteps are lessons in what not to do. We learn and grow best when we are together.
Isolation is the devil's playground. He will keep you down and weak until you let someone shine the light of Christ in your life.
Life is meant to be lived side by side with God and each other.
