"Encourage One Another Daily"
Hebrews 3:13
I think everyone goes through times when it seems God is quiet and other's are just too preocuppied to listen or be there. Sunday, my pastor said 'When you can't hear God, Read Him. ' Meaning...read the Word. Well....God wants us to fully rely on Him, even when it seems He is silent. Other's can't take His place. 'For we walk by faith, not by sight'.
I know alot of people struggle with, where's the balance. We are all part of one body mean't to lift each other up. "Above all, love each other deaply" 1Peter 4:8a I will let you down. At times you will let me down. But you know what? When JCFaith was running really slow before the updates, i dissapeared from here. I couldn't get from one page to another. I let the dearest friend i have online down. I hate that so badly. But she never gave up one me. For that i'm forever thankful!
I NEED YOU and YOU NEED ME!
Yeah..."Two are better than one, If one falls down his friend can help lift him up" Ecclesiastes 4:9,10. "But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!"
I make beaded necklaces in my spare time. I especially like the 3 stranded necklaces and bracelets. They are not only pretty, but less likely to break.
"A cord of three strands is Not easily broken." Ecc. 4:12b "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves." The only thing God said was not good during creation, was that Adam was alone. We Need Each Other.
I need YOU! But i need GOD more! Balance??? "Cast All your cares on Him because He Cares for You!" 1 Peter 5:7 "Therefore Confess your sins to one another and Pray for One another, and the effectual prayer of a fervent man avails much." James 5:16
God has always worked through People. We fullfill the great commission. We weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. We have been given spiritual gifts, for the uplifting of the body of Christ. This is Gods plan. My fingers need your hands. Your hands need someones arms to reach out. You and I may be the only Jesus in skin others will ever see. We are called to the ministry of Reconcilliation. Bringing others in right relationship with God.
The Balance....Encourage One another DAILY*** in Jesus! Be sensitive to their needs. Help them to depend on God. Portray His likeness.
I Need You...You Need Me! You may show me something from God that i need! I May do the same for You.
Love
Cj
