We Need Others

We need friends to pray for us… … since they believe that God hears our cry for divine support whenever we excruciate in downfall’s hurts along shame’s discomfort sorrowfully begging for the Saviour's help, our ultimate resort--- and they lead us before the Almighty's gracious fort! We need partners in our pursuits… … acknowledging that we are one in our mission whenever we seek companions to fight sins’ oppression devoutly reaching-out with the Lord's provision--- and they are ready to lend their hand of compassion! We need acquaintances… … to surmount communication's challenging difficulty whenever we want to hurdle calamity and physical infirmity wholeheartedly yearning for cheerful sanity--- and they smile, greeting us with joy's purity! We actually need each other… … because no one can exist alone, considering human weakness; whenever we try to struggle with relationship failures and worthlessness grievously demanding for responsiveness--- we must strive to be the neighbor* who practices loyalty and faithfulness! *Mark 12:30-31 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
