“In the end, all you have is yourself.”

That’s a great quote, except that it’s not true.

Sometimes I even feel like that.  In fact, I am tempted to wear it as a sort of badge of honor.  You know, all I need is me.

The problem is, it’s not true.

Last Saturday sort of proved it to me.  Over 180 people gathered together to do a Walk4Water event.   If you’d like to know more, you can read about it here.   It was spearheaded by Christ followers who just wanted to help some people in need.

We raised money, met our fundraising goal, and had a good time.

But, one image sticks with me.

 

When you’re walking with Christ followers, you’ll never walk alone.

It may seem like you walk alone.  It may be your experience for some time, but they are out there.  They’re pulling for you.  They’re right beside you.

1 John 3:16  By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.  By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Colossians 2:2 that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ,

John 17:23  I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
