As human beings we are built for community. We read about the first church in the book of Acts and one of the core things they devoted themselves to was fellowship. We need each other in order to thrive and develop well. How can you connect with the community of God better? How can you connect with your local community? We are not made to be alone. If you see someone lonely, why not reach out to them. It is possible to be lonely in a crowd. Take time to be friendly.
The Bible states that if we want friends, we need to show ourselves to be friendly. Just stopping in the shop for five minutes to talk to someone who looks lonely may make the difference to their day. The elderly are especially susceptible to loneliness. Sow seeds of kindness in the lives of others and you will also get blessing in return. Proverbs 11 says this 25A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
