Day 23- We thrive in numbers
As women it is so crucial for us to have female friends to fellowship with. We need them to listen to us, cry with us, laugh with us, sometimes laugh at us, and when the going gets tough we need them to pray with us. There are a million reasons we need our girlfriends, but most importantly because they are our sisters and they need us too. It is important to have at least one friend who holds you accountable for things. Some one who has a high standard set for you and will always push you to do better. These are the kind of friends who will drop to their knees in an instant and pray with you if you need it. They are rare, few and far between, and hard to find. We need them. I think if we make our selves more emotionally available to the women we are close to that this will come natural. It is knitted in our soul to be able to bond with other women. We build these bonds organically, no help from anything else it just comes natural to us when we begin to relate our lives to theirs. True friendship is a splendid thing to experience and we all need more of it.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. - Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Lord, Bring light to all of the special women in our lives. Help us to find someone out of that group that we can really count on. Teach us how to be a good friend to others who need us and give us the courage to meet new friends in the future. Keep our hearts and minds open and fully focused on You.
