Friends and Work

How many friends do you have on Facebook? How many friends come to throw you a birthday party? How many people do you trust to be speaking for the Spirit of the Lord if they happen to challenge you regarding some thought or word or activity of yours?

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity (Proverbs 17:17). The real relationships that you have with real believers in which you can discuss real issues and accomplish real spiritual work are your connection to the body of Jesus in the earth. Spend time nurturing those relationships.

If you don’t have that kind of relationships, pray for them to develop and then expect them. And then, no matter how scary or new or different they may look, step into them and be awesome!
