Good Tuesday morning, my friends.
I just wanted to add a few more words on accountability. It is not only for our weaknesses to temptation that we need accountability, but also for spiritual disciplines such as prayer, Bible reading, keeping a Sabbath rest, etc.
Is someone helping you and encouraging you to maintain these?
Are you doing the same for someone else?
The "two are better than one" applies here as well. Just as in physical exercise programs, having a partner makes it much easier to attain our spiritual goals.
Do you have such a partner?
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
Lord Jesus Christ,
while on earth you had close and devoted friends,
such as John. Lazarus, Martha and Mary.
You showed in this way that friendship
is one of life's great blessings.
Thank you for the friends that you have given me
to love me in spite of my failures and weaknesses,
and to enrich my life after your example.
Let me ever behave toward them
as you behaved toward your friends.
Bind us close together in you and enable us
to help one another on our earthly journey.
Amen.
