Hope: A Courageous Journey of FaithНамуна

DEVOTION - TODAY'S DISCUSSION

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." Alburt Camus.

Friendships based on God's love are so important for us to have. Our inner circle of friends are the ones who guide us, strengthen us, listen to us, and most importantly are there for us no matter what. These friends are the ones who tell us Godly wisdom when we need to hear it, the ones who pray for us, and the ones who shine light in our lives when we are in dark times.

We are called to love one another as Christ has loved us while discerning who to share our pearls with so that those intimate friendships remain Christ centered. Christ blesses us through the people He brings into our life for a reason and purpose.  


FROM "TAYLOR'S GIFT" THE BOOK

“I know you well enough to know you’re going to want to do it all yourself. And you’re going to tell people ‘we’re fine’ and ‘we don’t need anything,’ but if you deny people the opportunity to help, you’re taking away their blessing. You’re taking away a gift they want to give you.

So, you’re going to have to figure out how to let other people help you,” he said. Charlie went on to remind me that though I might feel abandoned, my faith would be the strength that would help me
survive. “Be open to hearing, seeing, and feeling God through all of this,” he said. “It’s not about you, but it’s about a much, much bigger picture, and there is a reason behind this that
will help carry you through.”

TODAY'S REFLECTIONS

Who in your life would stand beside you no matter what?

Pray for God to continue to fortify your inner circle with Christian friends that will support you in your walk of faith.
