            FRIENDSHIPS---- DO YOU REALLY KNOW THE ONES YOU CARE ABOUT?

I BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE AND SPEND TIME GETTING TO KNOW THEM SO WE ARE MORE ABLE TO HELP AND BLESS THEM, ESPECIALLY IN OUR CHURCHES/GROUPS.

Some times people are shy even embarresed to show there feelings so how can they express there feelings for God in church in front of strangers. yes it takes time to build friendships but how much time have you got? a little push in the right direction? what can we do to build relationships? We need to bring people to Jesus, How shy are you in being the first to approach the person hiding in the back row.

I have been a christian for 4 years but still sometimes sit on my own in church, it puts me off going sometimes. The small group i go to encourage us to open up to God, lets do it for Gods people to show we care, then we will see who stays and who goes. Want to bless someone but don't have money? Be a FRIEND.

I have come to believe that all our disappointments in Life...including relationships with people, are given to draw us closer to God.  He is our best friend.  That being said, I feel very inadequate in the area of seeking out folks to befriend.  I've never had a lot of friends or family around and I know it is so important to have one-on-one relationships with other struggling Christians.  We are all struggling here.  I pray that in my reaching out I will always be genuine - not always trying to put my best "on" - but rather, in meekness, approach others with the "real" me.  I have so many small faults that are so hard to overcome.  I really would love to have a human friend or two to hold me accountable and love me still.  One dear friend has already gone to Heaven and I do miss her so much.
