Sis evelyn once told us of how, when she first came to church, she didn't know anyone, and she would come to church, listen to the sermon, and leave, without (really) talking to anyone... cos she just didn't know anyone.
And she came week after week, without talking to anyone. Until one day, on her way to sunday service, she detoured and went to a shopping centre and just window-shopped that sunday.
I can't really rmb what the moral of her story was, but what i did rmb was the gist. That as much as we should be in church for God, and to worship God... having friends in church is also important. Cos God did not make us to be alone.
How true that no man is an island.
Fellowship of the Saints? Yep. We all need someone to hold us up, to encourage us, to listen to us complain (once in awhile.....)
.. to be sensitive to us, so that we dun need to say anything...
Of cos we'll have to be that Someone, to someone else.
It's a two-way street. And it takes effort..
Effort to 1.) Be there for others.
2.) Be there, for others to be there for you.
"By this shall they know that you are My disciples, that you love one another."
