How do we obtain true fellowship with one another? How can we put all of the crap aside that would cause us to close up, and just be open with another enough so that true fellowship could exist? I know I struggle with this. I want to be known, but the truth is I’m scared of it. I want someone to know me without having to put the effort in. I want someone to be interested in my day, my dreams, my desires. I want someone whom I can hang out with all the time and laugh like there is no tomorrow. When i started to think about the kind of friendship I want, the kind of fellowship I want with people I soon realized that this ideal is difficult to obtain. How can I be known when i don’t know who I am… So maybe I should start with that. Who am i?

I would say that I know myself, but that would be a ridiculous lie. I know what I want to know about myself. I only know what my flesh allows me to know, and that is only a part, but not the whole.  To know myself I must seek the one who created me. He sees me; flaws and strength alike, just as I am, and yet He loves me. He knows the sin in front of me that I have time and time again failed to see. He sees me crashing into the wall of myself over and over and is waiting to rescure me. That is refreshing!! He is that faithful friend, he is that faithful fellowship.

He is interested in my entire day, my desires. He wants to hang out with me all the time, and laugh with me over the things I’ve done, or what He’s doing. He wants to dream dreams with me. You see True Fellowship starts with Jesus Christ. True fellowship must begin with the Creator.

So I’m working out telling him everything, walking with Him, so that friendship amongst people can begin. Maybe when I keep Him the main thing in my life, everything else will be added. it’s funny how all wisdom and knowledge goes straight back to the bible. God is so good all the time.

Praise Him always, Praise Him continually, seek Him first, and never, never worry, its only a product of fear…and according to 1john 4:18 There is no Fear in Love. So let the lover of You, keep you in His peace, in His arms, and let fear begin to be only a memory.
