How to Find Community
COMMUNITY.
There is such purpose in community. A solid community can help build and encourage us in our purposes.
But how do we find that community? How do we foster it? How do we find friends that will actually build us up instead of tear us down.
Here are some ways YOU can find and foster community.
How to Be A Good Friend
Good friends can be HARD to come by, am I right?
But how often do we actually stop to make sure WE are being good friends to others?
Friendship is a beautiful and essential part of life. And friendship is a two-way street.
The Bible has multiple verses about the benefits of a GOOD FRIEND.
John 15:12 sums it up well when it says, “Love each other as I have loved you.”
How has Jesus loved us?
He put us before Himself, even going to die for us. He forgave us and forgives us a LOT. He is kind to us. He encourages, but He’s also real with us and corrects us. LOVE ONE ANOTHER. This is KEY to being a good friend. Think of others before yourself.
Why We Need Gal Pals
I am just overwhelmed for all my gal pals out there. What a difference they make in our lives. Those girls that are blowing up your group chat during the work day. The ladies that never miss a beat and are always sending you scripture and encouragement, like exactly the ones you NEED to hear. The girlfriends that will literally drop everything late at night to come be with you and pray hard prayers. These are the people we need and I fervently pray that you have them in your inner circle. I think of Jesus who had the 12 disciples, yet when it came time for Him to pray in the Garden after the Last Super, He took three with Him. His inner circle. What does your inner circle look like??
Comparison: Losing Sight
Comparison holds me back from celebrating others because I envy. Comparison holds me back from what God has for me and my purpose on this earth because I spend too much time thinking about others’ successes OR MYSELF and my own inadequacies — making me feel lesser-than and hopeless. Comparison breeds discontentment causing me to be dissatisfied with who I am. “The cost of comparison: pride & insecurity.” Summed up, comparison tears me down and it tears down my relationships with others as I grow in jealousy rather than love. It takes my focus off of God and what He calls me to and who He’s made me to be. She wrote in that same post: “the cure? 1. Recognize your universal calling (to keep your eyes on JESUS) 2. Recognize your unique calling (whatever it is the Lord has created ONLY you to do right where you are).”
