Godly friendships are the best friendships a person can have. The support and encouragement that you can offer one another is more than enough to help you through the toughest of times. Friendship was designed for people to help one another out, love one another, and give one another the lifting they need. Friendships that are rooted in Christ are the most fulfilling to have because you have an opportunity to grow as Christians together. You can trust each other for the right advice and you can pray together. Amazing things happen when a group of friends come together to pray and worship God.Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were not alone when they stood against idolatry. They stood in their decision together – from the beginning to when they were thrown in the fire. They trusted God together and look at the miracle that happened. They survived the burning blazed and served as testimonies of the power of the God they served and believed in. Such things have not stopped happening. When your circle is comprised of people who love God as much as you do, you become unstoppable. No matter what the enemy tries to throw your way, you are all able to keep moving forward.No one was born to be an island. When we choose to live in isolation it affects everything about us. When we isolate ourselves from people, we don’t get to experience the love and care that people are so willing to give. We are alsomore susceptible to the wiles of the enemy when we live in isolation. When we try to face challenges on our own, it can become very overwhelming. This is why God created us to be companions with one another. He has never desired us to be alone, without a person to call a friend.It is always far better to have at least two or three people in your life who are for you and are for God, too. Such assurance can help you through the worst of things.Whatever you do, do not choose to live in isolation. Yes, there are people out there who may not have good intentions toward you. But you need to remind yourself that there are also people out there who will love you, fight for you, and wish to see you live in God’s will for your life.
