"I Want You To Meet My Friends"

        If one falls down, his friend can help him up, But pity the man 

                         who falls and has no one to him up!

                                       Ecclesiastes 4:10

        Just a word of advice: make good friends. I've designed human to need each other. No one is strong enough to succeed on his own. Even professional athletes have managers and agents. Needing friends doesn't make you weak; it just makes you human. You can tell good friends by how they treat you when you fall down in life. Do your present friends ditch you in bad times? Then you need new friends.

        From the beginning of time, God made it clear that it is not good for His people to be alone (Gen.2:18). God design us to cooperate. Throughout the Scriptures He speaks of His people as a community that accomplishes more togerther than separately. God did not create us as isolated individuals, each seeking to achieve our  own goals. Rather the success of our endeavors depends upon our interdependence. This is why He established the church and release His Holy Spirit to empower the community of believers to spread the gospel. We are to be a kingdom of priests ( 1 Peter 29).

         During difficult times it is critical that we are walking in fellowship with other christians. When a crisis hits, it is overwhelming to face it alone. But we have cultivated supportive friendships, we will find strength in the comfort  and encouragement of those who care about us. Interdependence is also a safeguard for us when we are lured by temptation. The consistent testimony of those who have to temptation is that isolated themselves from believers and were not held accountable by christian friends.

       If you are not a part of a caring community of believers, you are missing out on what God designed you for. You are also in danger of falling into sin. You must link your life with others who are seeking God's will. Seek to be a person who willingly joins others in carrying out God's assignments. Strive to be the source of support and encouragement that those around. 

You need.

       A church is a place a place where My family comes together to love Me and to love each other. A person who truly loves Me will stick with you when you run into tough times. In fact, i have some incredible new friends i want you to meet. And they need you just as much as you need them!
