God's Glory Church

No matter how much the world around us tries to push us toward self-reliance, God created us for each other. For the community. For life not alone.

The author of Proverbs said:

“A friend is always a friend, and a brother is born to share misfortune.”
Proverbs 17:17 UMT

We all face hard times—sometimes when we least expect it. But the sincere care of a friend can mean everything, the unconditional love of a brother or sister cannot be replaced, and the practical help of a neighbor is invaluable.

We need each other more than we realize: emotionally, practically, and spiritually.

If you’re going through a tough time, where you’ve inadvertently neglected your true friends or been too busy for your family, now is the time to change your priorities.

Якщо є невирішений конфлікт із другом або членом родини, і це повільно погіршує стосунки, зараз настав час відкинути свою гордість і вирішити все виправити.

If you are silently struggling alone, now is the time to let someone in. Call them, send a text or show up at their door. If you can’t be honest and sensitive, it will be difficult for you to get help.

Not only do you need people, but these people also need you.

You have strengths, abilities, talents, and personalities that are unique to you and beneficial to them, and vice versa. Why bury them in the ground in the name of autonomy when they can benefit others?

Sometimes we need to ask for help, and sometimes we need to help ourselves.

Do you need help or can you offer it? Could you help, or do you have extra time, money, advice or expertise?

If you are tempted to isolate yourself, don’t forget: we are meant to live together.
