I want to run away in pain!
In times like these we really need each other. Our common enemy would like nothing better for us to isolate in our pain, whether economic, physical, mental, or emotional. We need to think counter intuitive by sharing our problems with one another, then help each other with action, not just words.
Our enemy wants us to be divided by using our current circumstances. However, our God is using the present hard times as an opportunity for us to Unite in Love! It is sad to say, but we humans just don’t see the great need for each other when times are easy and everything is going our way. Sure, we have OUR family and friends that we extend our self too, somewhat; but when it comes to really sacrificing for another human being, we normally wince and fall back.
So lets all make the decision to be strong and courageous: really watch out for each other, really listen to one another, and to submissively depend on God to meet a hurting person’s need through us.
If we choose not too, we forfeit the most satisfying life possible. A life that will one day end here on earth. It is a fact, our days are numbered. Are we building a life that produces temporary or eternal rewards? Whether you believe it or not, we each will stand alone before God to give an account of our time on earth.
