We all have friends and family we can count on when we need help, advice or comfort. We call on our loved ones whenever we feel down and lonely. But does everyone really have your best interests at heart? Can we always count on people?
Are people as reliable as God? I’ve found that people change all the time, they wake up with different emotions daily.
God reminds us why we need to rely on Him as our provider and comforter. There are many examples in the Bible too where people witnessed God’s power. Sometimes I want to count on people, but I’ve been disappointed many times before.
People will come to you and say “If you ever need to talk I’m here for you”, “When you need something, am here to help”. But can I count on you? (That’s always my thought). I’ve become sceptical of sharing about my life or problems with certain people.
The Lord Jesus Christ gave us the definition of a true friend: “Greater love has no one than this, that He lay down His life for His friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father I have made known to you”. Jesus is the pure example of a true friend, for He laid down His life for His “friends.” What’s more, anyone may become His friend by trusting in Him as his personal saviour, being born again and receiving new life in Him.
Do you trust the people in your circle? Or are you as sceptical as I am and very picky on who you get to share stuff with? Let’s hear from you, click on the banner below.
