I will get close to God through fellowship

Hebrews 10:24-25 – Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near.

Life was never meant to be done alone!

Now, we all know the story in Genesis where God said it was not good for man to be alone. So, He created Eve to be with Adam. But fellowship is much more than a special connection with a spouse, it’s about connection with our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ!

Who you have in your friendship circle is key for your life. Let’s face it, life can get heavy, and we all could do with a lift at times. And that’s where having fellow Christians by your side does just that. Fellowship with others keeps us in check spiritually. When we start to go slightly wayward in our walk, true caring friends are not afraid to let us know when something’s off, but they’re also there to stand with us in encouragement and love; pray with us in our time of need; and believe in faith with us for brighter horizons. Knowing we are genuinely cared for also leaves us with a big sense of peace and belonging.

The Word says Jesus gave us a new commandment to love one another. And that loving one another will prove to the world that we are His disciples. When Jesus walked this earth, the 12 disciples were the closest people to Him. Now, we are His disciples and close to the Lord. And we show that by caring for others. Reach out to someone today you know needs ‘that lift.’

Prayer: Lord, thank You that I was never meant to do life alone. I ask that You surround me with a bunch of strong faithful believers who I can do life with today. Also help me to show love to others as You have loved me. In Jesus name, Amen.
