Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 1 Sept 2008

Taking Ownership – Friendships Today’s word of encouragement may seem out of place with the theme of taking ownership. But I hope that we would realize the importance of taking ownership of the friendships that God has given to us. In my opinion, there will be many friends who know how to have a good time, but there are only a few friends who really want to go deeper. The key is going deeper. These friends want to go deeper in their relationship with God, and they want to grow deeper as well. These friends recognize that the surface level friendships are too shallow. God makes it clear to us which friendships are built to last for a lifetime, and which friendships will eventually fade away. Today, I hope that we would be challenged by God to renew and to take ownership of the friendships that are God brought about in our lives. Today, if you feel that all your friendships are surface level friendships, then I pray that we would be challenged by God. Challenged to take the step of faith to get out of our comfort zone. God will reveal to us and bring people into our lives. It is a matter of fine-tuning our hearts with His to know. HEBREWS 10:39 BUT WE ARE NOT THOSE WHO SHRINK BACK AND ARE DESTROYED, BUT OF THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND ARE SAVED. © Aug 2008 Shaun Lee. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com
