It is not good for… man to be alone.Genesis 2:18 NIV
Listen carefully to these words: “When we isolate, everything becomes magnified. Minor setbacks become major catastrophes. We may even think that people who don’t go out of their way to become our friends are actually plotting against us. What’s the answer? Connecting! By connecting we’re able to see that our monsters are only knee-high, and most of our fears are made of smoke.” That’s why God said, “It is not good for… man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18 NIV).
If you suffer from an overdose of self-sufficiency, consider this thought-provoking poem by Charles H. Towne. “Around the corner I have a friend, in this great city that had no end. Yet days go by and weeks rush on, and before I know it, a year is gone. And I never see my old friend’s face, for life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well, as in the days when I rang his bell. And he rang mine – we were younger then; but now we are tired, busy men. Tired of playing a foolish game, tired of trying to make a name. ‘Tomorrow,’ I say, ‘I’ll call on Jim, and let him know that I’m thinking of him.’ But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, and the distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner, yet miles away, then comes the news… Jim died today! And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, around the corner – a vanished friend!”
It’s time to reconnect with people in your life who really matter!
