My email: ...So if you think of it at 8:30, please send up a prayer!!...
My dear friend's response: If we think of it? It's going on our alarm clocks! Mid-appt or not, I will excuse myself for a quick prayer! :)
My heart was instantly warmed. How awesome to know that we have people in our lives who will drop everything to pray for us!
Who do we know that needs to tangibly know our love and support? Let's be my dear friend to them! And let's connect ourselves with others through small groups, or whatever, to be known, make ourselves known, and support each other in growing to be more and more like Jesus and in doing life with each other.
What does God's word say the fellowship of believers looks like?
They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers. Everyone around was in awe - all those wonders and signs done through the apostles! And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common. They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person's need was met. They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved. (Acts 2:42-47)
Beautiful! Sacrificial. Life together. Creating disciples. Celebratory. A true picture of community! A community that takes seriously the example of Christ, who though He was God, did not come to be served, but to serve (Mark 10:44-45). Lets be a people that likewise serves others!
Thank you, dear friend, for doing life together with me!
