DAY 18: EXPERIENCING LIFE TOGETHER

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE DAY 18: EXPERIENCING LIFE TOGETHER

Life is meant to be shared.

Real fellowship  involves communicating intimately with other people. Its walking through life with other people who share your same faith, values etc. This fellowship includes "unselfish loving, honest sharing, practical serving, sacrificial giving, sympathetic comforting etc...

In Real Fellowship people experience:

1. Authenticity: Everyone needs a confidant that they can share their most intimate parts of their  lives with someone else. The beauty of authenticity is that it frees us from hurts, negative feelings, failures, doubts, fears,  and weaknesses.

2. Mutuality:   This is the gift of giving and receiving which is the essence of fellowship. Ultimately, with this mutual desire to live, heal and move forward , fellowship allows for building reciprocal relationships, sharing responsibilities and assisting one another. 

***AHA MOMENT: Additionally,engaging in fellowship will keep us encouraged, engaged and  accountable. ***

3. Experience Sympathy:  Sympathy is entering in and sharing the pain of others. We can share your hurts, get someone to listen intently and wholeheartedly. It will satisfy our need to be understood and validated. 

4. Experience Mercy:  Through fellowship, we get mercy and grace. It is an opportunity to release, so we can heal. Its an opportunity for us to be reminded that mercy and grace are available no matter  the weight or magnitude of the sin. Its an opportunity for us to forgive ourselves, others and move forward with peace. Its opportunity to restore trust in others. 


Love Always & Blessings,
