“I need you, you need me, and I need you!”
This was a song, dad and I would sing at night, hugging each other before we went to bed.Dad was in his 80’s and it was a deep affectionate love to each other,oh how do I miss my dad!In the following verses, the Apostle Paul shares with us his thoughts of what we need to do as the body of Christ,which are: prayer, encouragement and caring fo each other needs.
2 Corinthians 3-11 verse 11 “Ye also helping together by prayer for us ,that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.”
I believe, as we face difficult transitions in our lives, it is praying for each other that helps activates the body of Christ to do ministries
First, it stirs the spirit in us to prayer for each other, which are going through hard times...
Secondly, prayer is the trigger that moves God to help the person or persons in need.
Thirdly, prayer is exercised by faith in action.
What does it mean to be a friend?
A helping hand to the journey end
A loyal heart and a loving one to the end
No task too great for a friend to do.
A true friend will not let you stand alone!
Dear friends, I believe that when one of our own members, in the body of Christ go through transitions in their lives. We need to minister to their needs through prayer,words of encouragement and to give a helping hand.
The Bible states,” Greater love than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
I miss my dad, he is in heaven and one day we will reunite and will hug, and sing and say again, “I need you and you need me, me and you, you and me!”
Love you Dad! You were the best friend I have ever had! Thank for always being there for my family and myself!Let us as brothers and sisters put away petty stuff, forgive,pray,forbear, and help one another.
Love in Christ .Eddie
