Building A Community Part 2
How do you know if you are building a good and quality of friends? I like to think that when you start building friendships that friends are there to build you up and not to tear you down. Do you have a group of friends like that? Do you have someone who you could turn to and trust when you are feeling down? Do you have a group of friends that will help you through the troubled times? A group of friends that you can stand on the same belief system and yet at the same time you feel like you are not part of a group of friends that bring you down? Proverbs 17:17- read it… Do you have a friend that loves at all times? Do you have a friend that you consider like a brother? Someone that you would lay your life down for?
So what does this have to with building a community? If you have a community of friends or a small group in which you can talk to or listen to. Then you are slowly building a community of friends. Having friends will get you far in life as long as you are building bridges and not building up walls. Therefore you can go out into the real world and start building the community you are destined to build.
Can I tell you a secret? When I am able to buy a house, I want to get a group of friends to take over a community and share God’s love. I like to think of if as hippie meets small groups meets the church equals success. That’s why I have been talking about building a community. It just depends on how your community looks like or where the heart of the community is. My community’s foundation is to be based on the biblical foundations that God’s love is the foundation and Jesus’s sacrifice for our sins is our real reason to grow. That is what I think my purpose is in life. I don’t wanna be a millionaire… I just want to live a life that shows that I am building a community of friends. Cause having friends are a good:)
