WE NEED EACH OTHER

Since Covid I have realized more than ever how we are made for relationship... We need people. We must have places where we are connected... where we are loved unconditionally.

We need a group of supportive relationships... The reason is simple:

Having more than one person in our lives allows our friends to be human. To be busy. To be unavailable at times. To hurt and have problems of their own. To have time alone. Then when one person can't be there for us, there's anther phone number to call. another person who may have something to offer. and we aren't enslaved to the schedule conflicts of just one person.

This is why we need the body of Christ and to be in fellowship regularly as the Bible tells us.

I can't even imagine not having my church family. We are a group of lumpy, bumpy, people who feel free to ask for help and give help, who ask again and give again and again. We are so supportive of one another in love, in our spiritual growth, encouragement, helping those in need among us, and so much more.

When our supportive network is strong enough, we all help each other mature into what God intended us to be; "bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unit of the Spirit through the bond of peace". Eph 4:2-3

When we've taken the responsibility to develop several supportive relationship in a biblical fashion, we can take a no from someone, because we have somewhere else to go.

My question to you is... do you have a number of supportive biblical Christian relationships?

Are you joining together regularly with the Body of Christ so you feel free to ask when you need help and also have the opportunity to be the one on the giving end to help a brother or sister?

To me being in regular fellowship with Body of Christ is not a luxury, it is not a work needed for salvation but it is a necessity, and a beautiful part of the Christian life.
