Struggle For Fellowship

Since the beginning of time, people has struggled for fellowship. In fellowship man's life is made richer by sharing. We find others have tastes, opinions, knowledge that can enrich life. In families we find this fellowship less and less today. Each tries to satisfy themselves out away from others. We need to realize that a family is a group of people, each for the other. A church is a family of believers each recognizing the need of others. Mankind has a deep cry within himself to find strength that comes from another source other than themselves. We must give out of ourselves and receive from others. As one becomes lost sometimes in lives struggle they tend to forget the things found in fellowship. We must share our talents, our desires, our knowledge of God. Christ sought out fellowship with his disciples Peter, James and John sharing his innermost thoughts and desires of his heavenly Father. We, as Christians can share thoughts, desires, and visions of the heavenly Father. In fellowship we find an anchor, a hidden strength that is there when it seems all else is gone. One must have confidence that he be not afraid to reach out of himself. The goal is to find friends who care about his burdens, friends who aren't wanting to laugh, but feel their feelings of despair. In Christian fellowship we are able to find the joy of knowing Christ is living in each other. We are all part of Christ's body. We are pushing our desires toward the goal that we all might be one in Christ. We need each other. Many children cry out for the fellowship of their parents. They desire and need their parents to reach back and feel the feelings of their world. They feel their parents separate themselves in another world they don't understand. It is an old story if you are not taught to share we tend to forget. Many people of one belief tend to fellowship with others of the same belief. They tend to stay in one accord this way. People of all ages and all walks of life need fellowship. We tend to forget the fellowship that can be shared with the elderly. People in every age need the strength of others, their age and other ages. Each man is a beacon or light to another. In our reach for fellowship, we must be among people that benefit and help our soul to grow so that our faith may grow stronger each day. We must seek out Christian fellowship and push it to grow. We must develop and use talents and abilities to help others. In life's continuous struggle, we sometimes forget the enjoyment of letting yourself become alive and expressive. We have a tendency to feel life pushing down upon us and thus wanting to withdraw or get away from it all. We sometimes forget one brethren are also under a load that needs our help. As we become willing to be concerned about our brethren, we let go of ourself. As we let go of ourself, we face each day with the joy of knowing we are God's helpers. We have the ability to lift someone up or push them down as we push to lift them up and feel their feelings. They see a Christ of love and compassion in us. Someone who is able to reach inside them and bring forth feelings, abilities, and desires.
