From Sunday:

We desperately need friends - people who are there for us and people who care for us. And God knows that. In fact, the very first problem God saw with His creation had to do with loneliness.

Think about it, when God created stars and the plants, and fish and the birds - every time something was created God said, "that's GOOD". And when He created Adam, God declared: that's "very good". But in the very next sentence God said, "It is NOT good that the man should be alone." (Genesis 2:18)

Jesus knows loneliness is a problem too. That is why he said these words we are about to read in John's Gospel. ( John 15:12-17)

En Agape',

Rev. Michael Weeks
