Life gets busy. With the demands of life piling up like an enormous mound of dirt, God still calls us to foster our fellowship with each other. Hebrews 10:25 tells us, “And allow us to not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage each other, especially now that the day of his return is approaching.” As Christ’s return draws closer and closer, even in our day and hour, it’s an excellent practice to cultivate our current friendships. Close fellowship can spring forth timely encouragement.
So, when was the last time you paused to play? In other words, has it been some time because you took a load off to enjoy a fun or relaxing day with a friend? Sometimes we just need a mild reminder to stop from our labors and rest. And rest can appear like spending unhurried time in prayer and reading the Bible to learn more about our closest friend, Jesus Christ. Other times, it could resemble scheduling some much needed day trip with friends.
However, in case you’ve found yourself fresh out of creative ideas for cultivating your current friendships, then listed below are a couple of to contemplate trying out.
