Who’s Your Roommate?
Most here know that my son started his sophomore year in college. One situation he recently was challenged with was that the roommate he was counting on having got moved to become a resident assistant. This gave him concern as to who then would be paired with him for the semester. He found out the day before classes started and it seems he is happy overall to have a nice guy matched with him. I pray they become good supporting friends.
Friendship is filled with hard moments that make us question whether or not the other person is worth the outpouring of our loyalty. If we follow God’s leading, we will experience the miracle of selfless love on this earth and what He can do through it.
God’s Word lists examples of being paired with others many times. We were all designed for relationships and need to make an effort to build healthy connections throughout our life.
A few examples for us are Moses and Aaron, David and Jonathan, Elijah and Elisha, Paul and Timothy, Ruth and Naomi, and the supreme relationship is Jesus and You.
“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends.” John 15:13,14
Let’s be encouraged again to work on ourselves to be the friend we want others to be to us. “Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm? And if somebody overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Grateful to God for his faithful friendship. – Pastor Larry
