United in Christ... Eternally One!

It’s funny how so many things in our lives revolve around the topics of unity and friendships. Not really, it’s God’s timing – which is on time, every time!

Lisa’s message, through all of the laughs and even quite a few tears made it so clear that we must, as women, break down those defenses that hold us back from being intimate friends. She shared how difficult it is sometimes to break down those walls that we think are protecting us, in order to let God’s love in, which will in turn, pour out onto others.

At North Side, we’ve been talking about how we can be “Boundary Breakers”, tearing down some of the barriers that keep us from coming to Jesus as one body – united! Our SIS group is reading, The Friendships of Women”…not a coincidence at all…it’s GOD!!

I still get chills and some tears when I think of the great love that Christ brought into so many lives during the event! He gave Lisa the words HE knew women needed to hear – He opened the minds and hearts in a way that would let them hear HIS message!!

In Colossians 3 “Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience... And over all these virtues put on love, which binds altogether in perfect unity"

That’s just like Lisa’s message…how as women it’s important to bind ourselves together in friendships. Her stories were funny, and at the same time were so true! It was so encouraging to hear a woman of Christ share that she’s struggled with friendship issues just like we all have from time to time!! Best of all, those women left the events feeling NOT ALONE, but loved, and do we dare we say it…United!!

What a blessing it has been to share this with so many women in the Wabash Valley!! Of course, we give all the glory and praises to God for this small part of an incredible journey for women, United in Christ – Eternally One!
