Encourage One Another!

This computer have a mind of its own! "**" is space for space between paragraphs which this computer wouldn't let me for some reason!

A true real friend encourage one another! A friend who doesn't encourage one another is not a true friend but call a "friend". We all need to encourage one another! Pray for those who are down and encourage those who are down. No encouragement does dry up the bone. I had been there and experiencing it at the moment. **

We all need a true friend that will continue to be faithful to encourage one another. Especially those who are older single without kids, like me who are in the 40's who have no other fellowship outside of the church family gathering fellowship with one another. Of course, I am in the wonderful fellowship with my wonderful church family on Sunday and Wednesday night. I am always so thankful for them and always looking forward for Sunday and Wednesday night and other special time that we get together such as (1st and 3rd) Tuesday Morning Theology Breakfast, and First Tuesday night for Grace Group. The Lord is so good to me for a wonderful godly church family. Yet, I do long for wonderful godly fellowship and fun time with one another on the other days as well and outside of the church fellowship gathering together. **

Facebook and email are wonderful to have, but we need a real true fellowship with one another without this technology. We can't be a hermit and stay at home and depend on this technology to communicate with a friend online. Without fellowship or invitation to be with someone, it is so easy to be hook on Facebook and email. I always look forward to get email from someone that would encourage me. **

I am deaf but oral educated (can talk) and also brought up in the hearing world and not in the deaf world is also hard for me because my hearing friends doesn't call me as they would call their hearing friends. I am thankful for email for better communicate. Also thankful for cell phone that does text message which I learned how to used it this week. The Lord is so good to me. **

Having pets are wonderful too because they do comfort you. But it isn't the same thing as being with godly friends that you can have fun, or fellowship, or talk about what you are studying, or learning as you are eating His Word. Anselm, my wonderful kitty-cat loves to get on my lap to sleep, or kneed on me, or have me to rub her. Right now, she is on my lap, and it is hard to type when she is on my lap. She is my baby. **

I don't want to point finger at any one, but this is what I have observe. Marriage couple invite another marriage couple for lunch, supper, or special fellowship. They rarely invite single person. This does hurt a lot. Yet, single do long for fellowship with one another. Marriage couple with small children invite another marriage couple with small children for fellowship with one another. I am without husband or child(ren). How can I plug in fellowship with one another? I do have a lot of marriage friends than I do have single friends. Not many singles at my age range in the 40's. I do long for double date or a blind date also providing he is a true believer for Christ.**

If I am wrong about this, please point it out to me where I am wrong. This is what I had been experiencing. I know that I am not "Nobody!" I am a child of God who is hungry for fellowship with one another, and hungry to share, or talk to someone what I had learned as I am eating His Word, or what I had learned as I am reading a wonderful book. **

Please do encourage one another especially to those who are single or those who are down. **

Let read some of the passage from the Bible: **

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 ESV

that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine. Romans 1:12 ESV

For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Romans 15:4 ESV

that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ, Colossians 2:2 ESV

Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing... And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 1 Thessalonians 5:11, 14 ESV

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. Hebrews 10:23-25 ESV

Let encourage and fellowship with one another for Christ!

Hungry to eat His Word,
