about

There’s something simply splendid about companionship. When we were kids, my brother and I would explore the countryside where we lived. We would talk and argue, play with and protect each other. We were like Lewis and Clark exploring the great American frontier.

I gradually came to realize two very elementary truths about human nature. First, our very best times are never so enjoyable as when we have someone with whom to share them. And second, our very worst times are almost unbearable with no one to carry the load with us. Jesus Christ promised to walk beside us during both good and bad times. “And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20, NLT) He may not be physically beside us, but he sent his Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts to guide us.

He also gives us human companions. We are to help carry each other’s burdens as King Solomon put it, “A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.” (Proverbs 17:17, NLT) For example, we each have our own struggle with sinful habits. But with the Holy Spirit living in our hearts and the encouragement of our trusted friends, we are given the strength to conquer those sinful habits. God gave us to each other to edify and to lift each other up–to walk the road together.
