It’s
so great to have a group of friends to hold you accountable, pray for you,
encourage you through life’s tough moments & celebrate the joys in life
with you too. That’s my connect group.
I
love these girls, I’m old enough to be their Mother, but that doesn’t seem to
matter. I am so proud of them; how
they, (we) are making so much progress in dealing with our emotions through the
book Unglued. I love how openly we
can share our personal “unglued moments” without fear of judgment.
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray
for one another, that you may be healed.” James 5:16
Why confess to others?
First I
believe this verse is a commandment, maybe not the top 10 commandments, but a
commandment nonetheless.
And I
think it means –do it, it’s good for you.
1. It holds you accountable for your own
progress.
Saying
things out loud makes it real; it helps you to really think about the issue.
Look at the situation from another angle and you could see the humor in your
reaction to it.
2.
God
loves it when we pray for one another; it is an action of love.
I give you a new
commandment – to love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
John 13:34
3.
Praying
and really believing in the prayer can help you overcome and be healed. The
bible tells us where two or three are together in His name, we can count on God
being there too.
Take this
most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven.
What you say to one another is eternal. I mean this. When two of you get
together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in
heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can
be sure that I’ll be there.”
Matthew
18:18-20 MSG
Yes, I
have a fun group of young ladies; they inspire me to be a better “me’. I hope
they find their selves encouraged by me their best too and know we are all an
imperfect work in progress. I love you “Unglued Girls”!!
