Day 6: Romans 12:10

Romans 12:10: Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

Faith ● Friends ● Family

When asked why I came to this church, my first response was my faith. Reading, learning, and obeying God’s word led me to a church where I could grow in my faith.

After attending only a short time, we began to recognize faces and to learn the names of people who also chose to attend this church. From these people came invitations to join in church activities, where we met more and more people. We began to get to know these people, and bonds started to form. From there, friendships developed: strong, deep, long-lasting friendships.

I can truthfully say that some of my best friends are the people I go to church with. God knows that we need other people in our lives, and He blesses us by putting them in our paths. Thank you, God, for friends.

We also need deep, long-lasting relationships to help us get through the difficult times and to rejoice with us in the good times. These are the people we feel closest to, whether they are family by birth or friends we have come to accept as family. Our church family loves us and accepts us as we are. We rely on them and know that God has given them to us for special reasons. Thank you, God, for giving us such a wonderful church family!

 Thank You, God, for friends. Amen.
