One of the greatest gifts
Short answer- Gift of friends. I’ve read this story more than 500 times but it didn’t make any meaning to me until now. Here’s the story.👇
In Mark 2:1-5, Jesus was teaching a crowd in a packed house. Four friends brought a paralyzed man to Jesus but couldn't get through the crowd. So, they went up on the roof, made a hole, and lowered their friend down to Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus healed the paralyzed man.
Today: Ask yourself some questions. Can your friends cover you in prayer? When challenges arise, can you find solutions together? Are your friends building you or breaking you? Otherwise, why are you their friend?
Be the kind of friend you seek. Evaluate whether your friendships build you up or tear you down. If there's no purpose in a relationship, it's time to let go.
Verse of the Day: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10. Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
Here’s a song to kickstart your week. ‘Friends’ Michael W.Smith
