THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

Two are better than one, because they have a  good return for their work; if one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together they will keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

These verses reveal to us the importance of having others in our lives to help us in our daily task... in our tribulations... in our comfort as well as our defense against our enemies. They assure us that there is power in relationships and friends that we do not possess within ourselves alone.

We are also reminded in the New Testament that where two or three are gathered in Christ name He is there in the midst with them. Jesus has told us that He would never leave us nor forsake us...so we are never to feel like we are ever alone. You see sweet friend, if you are in Christ, you can be assured that you are never alone. He is a faithful companion. He is the other side of that relationship... Pursue Him, look for Him, seek Him as a hidden treasure....you will find Him...He is there waiting for you to come....

Friends will come into your life and they will go....and blessed is the one who has friends.... but, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends....John 15:13....and this is what Jesus did for you!

Loving on you this Valentine's Day!
