Proverbs 27:17
Takeaway: I prayed for a friend, a praying friend. And God so graciously answered my prayer. I can’t tell you how blessed I am. Whenever we meet, (i.e. seldom these days as we live miles apart) we pour out our hearts to each other, share what the Lord has done for us, talk about His goodness and then lay our burdens at the feet of Jesus and pray together. We confide our failures to one another and are open to advice and correction. I have grown in the Lord with him. We need people in our lives whom we sharpen and who sharpen us. As God’s Word explains, there should be someone in your life who knows can count on you when he/she is down: Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow,” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Are you lonely? Seek to be a friend. Make time to be a friend.If you still haven’t found a friend, ask for one. God will provide. He knows your deepest longing. Amen (A message from Pastor Deepak)
