Finding Rest Part V

Find Your People

 

Community—a body of individuals who unite together in fellowship, sharing attitudes, interests, and goals.

Intimacy with God doesn’t mean shutting yourself off from other people. In fact, sometimes it means making space for them. Rest is the perfect time to celebrate life with people you love. We’re not made to do life alone. We need each other.

Think about the kind of people you want in your life—people who inspire you to be better, to be more like Jesus. You are directly influenced by the people you spend the most time with. Are the people you’ve allowed into your life helping you grow?

Reflect: Reach out today and invite a friend to get together. Meet in person if you can, or at least connect on a video or voice call. Don’t set an agenda. Just show up and enjoy one another’s company. Afterwards, write down anything God showed you during your time together.

*Proverbs 13:20

Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.

*Galatians 6:2

Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.

*1 Corinthians 12:25-27

This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.

*Hebrews 10:24

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.
