God knows that we need to be in relation with him and with others. Its been that way since the beginning. We used to walk in the cool of the day with the Him in the Garden of Eden.
He knows that we aren't supposed to go at this thing alone. Thats why he created his church. A fellowship of brothers and sisters that bond together and love one another through this thing called life. Life is tough. We're not meant to go at this alone.
For all of you out there trying to do this Christian walk on your own let me tell you its going to be really hard ( you may or may not have figured that out yet)
I think thats part of human nature though. I get those feelings sometimes of how I don't want to go to a small group. My flesh resists. But when I go I get refilled and rejuvenated. I feel alive and connected to my brothers and sisters. I usually almost end up leaving thinking ' Wow - I'm really blessed and thankful for having come tonight'
Challenge for the Fall: Whether you've been in a small group in the past or you've never been in one, why don't you put your-self out there and get into one this fall. Ask that the Lord do something HUGE in your life through that group. See what happens...
