Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." This was one of the scriptures that kept me; that kept my mind. In the song "No Fun Alone" by Mali Music, "it gets cold in this world, make sure somebody loves you...be there for you....it's no fun alone"
This was my problem, I had no one there, because I wanted no one there and even when I did, I was cautious and constructed a wall of defense before entering the conversation. My philosophy was 'people you know are more than likely to hurt you, than people you don't know.' However, this statement is not entirely true, everyone is prone to hurt and to being hurt.
God has called us to be friends.....
Proverbs 18:24(KJV)
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
I had to put myself out to be "friendly" not only as a business owner but as a Christian, how can I minister to others with a selfish character?
Being friendly helps to eliminate the feeling of loneliness. Having people around youwho share common goals etc, has proven to be very uplifting.
I had to pick myself up and TRUST God to strengthen my heart when disappointment comes.
I am still learning many things as human but more so, as a Christian.
2 Timothy 1:7King James Version (KJV)
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
