Sometimes I find that people take for granted the friendships that they have. Coming home from my day yesterday, I could not have been more grateful for a friend of mine taking time to listen to me and support me in my journey. It has been a rough week and even with my weekly appointment, I needed to just talk my life out with someone. She is a blessing to me for sure.
This finds me thinking about church community. We are called to be in community with each other, not traveling alone. Think about when Jesus sent out the 72 to proclaim then Good News, they were sent in pairs. Then there is when it is said that “were two or three are gathered in my name, there I will be there.” God is three “persons,” Father and Son and Holy Spirit…community. Man was not made to be alone.
We must never think we can travel this journey alone. Having a friend to lean on can make all the difference in the world. Being that friend to someone else can give you a sense of belonging, making a difference in another’s life.
Do you make yourself available for friends in need?
Are you allowing yourself to be vulnerable and reach out to friends?
Grace-Filled Hope
