Good morning!! How's it goin'? I hope all is well with y'all. Last week was good! I was able to go to the thursday Bible Study, and I'm so glad I went!

The topic was about relationships; the need to belong, the need to be a part of the family of God!

In Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Solomon talked about the advantages of companionship:

9 Two people can accomplish more than twice as much as one; they get a better return for their labor.
10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But people who are alone when they fall are in real trouble.
11 And on a cold night, two under the same blanket can gain warmth from each other. But how can one be warm alone?
12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.
Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.


We are called to do His will. I can't do it alone. You can't do it alone. We all need each other. I cannot say, "I am only a toe, I don't belong to the body," and I cannot say, "Hey, hand! What are you doing in the body? We don't need you!" That's ridiculous! :p (read 1 Cor. 12:12-31)

We are like jigsaw puzzle. Isolated we don't make any sense. Connected, we make a beautiful portrait of Christ!

Ephesians 4:15,16

15 Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.
16 Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

From the beginning, God said it is not good for man to be alone. (Gen. 2:18) Up to now, He wants to see His children united. Even Jesus had it in His prayer list, that we may be one. (John 17:21)

So, what is our response to this? I pray that we will be able to answer Jesus prayer request. That we will dwell in unity. (Psalm 133:1)

Well, that's it for now. I still got a lot to share. Give me time! :D

I love you all!
