Stand By Me
We were not created to walk this life alone.
That doesn't mean marriage is for everyone; it just means there's value in having trusted friends, a mentor and/or someone younger you can disciple.
Do you desire to have close and fulfilling relationships?
Some of you are surrounded by people and yet still find yourselves lonely.
There is more to having close relationships than merely knowing and working with people. You first must allow yourself to be known. Being known is not typical surface conversation of the current weather or how the new car drives.
Being known is opening yourself up with someone by building connection and trust. This allows you to be vulnerable and share more of you.
Delve deeper into someones life to grow closer by asking them: "How are you, really?" and even more intimate, "Let's pray together." Some difficult situations don't require words at all, but just being there.
Ask someone you care to know deeper to go have coffee and open your heart and listen--most people just want to be heard.
Life is so much more rich with friends and family, but if you won't lean in to the hearts of those you know,
you won't have the connectedness or closeness.
Stay close to people who feel like sunlight.
Vulnerability is the only bridge to build connection.
