Care for the needs of others

Hebrews 10: 25
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Most people think this verse speaks only about church attendance, and it does, but it also speaks about friendship in the Body of Christ.
I mean, who couldn’t use another friend, and who couldn’t use another word of encouragement?

I found that out yesterday, and it sure felt good to know, that when things go south, we have caring people in our corner.
I need friends who will show me Christ, especially as they grow in Him.

The first ones that come to mind, are my own family.
Family steps up, when you can’t step up on your own, for whatever the reason.

Through the Spirits enabling, we are to grow in the likeness of Christ.
God has not called us to run this race alone, and I felt people running with me yesterday.

I am forever thankful, for the friends that God has given me, who point me to His Son.
We can be encouraged by them, with the glorious hope they have found in Christ Jesus.

When we feel poorly and sick, we all need a hand to hold during those times, and not someone just to tell us to rub some dirt on the wound.
I am grateful for the friends who truly care, especially when they’re really needed.

Generally, they are the kind of people who care for the needs of others, more than they care for their own needs.
That’s real friendship, and that’s the kind of encouragement, that only the doctor can order.


When all you do for a living, is give blessings out…it sure feels good, to get a few in return for a change….
