Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NLT “Two people are better off then one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer. Three are even better, for the triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”
The Bible starts and ends with the Lord and companionship. The scriptures reveal throughout the Bible the Lord’s desire for his people to gather, become strong together, building and holding each other up.
There has been too much isolation these past couple of years and we are discovering how much of our social skills became dusty and almost foreign. We find ourselves having to adjust to the public and crowds, something that we just took for granted.
I am a bit of a loner and it’s hard for me to ask for help! This isn’t overly healthy or smart! We just read where God instructs us to reach out, ask for help, turn to friends and family!
We are meant to have communication with our Lord in heaven and with our neighbors. Special people in our world who are there with an open ear, a receiving heart and a gentle word or touch.
Is your load too heavy? Is your world to quiet? Too much darkness and cold? Lost, confused, depressed, lonely, heartbroken or just sort of sad? We live in a world of technology, get online find a church, I have many I’d love to suggest if you’re interested send me a message. There are AA or NA meetings online, book clubs, games with teams you can join and start belonging too. If you need it, use the search bar and find it! If you are experiencing it, you can be assured others are too and theirs a chat room just for that need or topic. In todays world you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your home to reach out and start making a connection.
Matthew 18:20 NIV “For when two or three come together in my name, there I am with them.”
And it doesn’t get much better than that!
Be blessed today, reach out and look up! Thank you for joining me. 🥰
