another thoughtful moment with Tim Reed part I

So as we are going through the series "R we frendz?" at church I can't help but remember back in high school... remember the people that you hung out with??? The "click" that you belonged to.... Isn't it interesting that church can sometimes be the same way? These are thoughts that have been on my mind recently. What if at school or church we broke down the "click" walls and barriers and started acting authentic and in unity?! What a difference it would make in our lives. We could get to know one another and not worry about popularity, or all the other junk that goes along with it.
What if someone that you have never met before sat down next to you, they dress wierd maybe they aren't the prettiest person in the world, maybe they just have bad B.O., would you still talk to them? While talking to them would you segway the conversation from the ordinary small talk and push it into a spiritual conversation? Isn't that what we were told and designed to do? What kind of difference would that make in your life, instead of having your 3 friends that are your BFF's (best friends forever) with and what if you had hundreds, or thousands? It would be a family of God!~ Can you imagine how that would change our church, our cities, our country and even our world. Not only would it improve our physical lives, but also our spiritual ones. It would be amazing. Lonliness would be a thing of the past, support and comfort would be a thing of the future!

This week I want you to talk to someone you have never talked to before, it could be someone at work, someone at school, or maybe that homeless dude that walks by your store everyday. Find out who they are, where they come from, and segway the conversation. For most of you it will take you out your comfort zone, but isn't that when we grow, and change??? This is how we were designed. We were designed to be a body of Christ and a family...

Make a new friend, and see that it will change your life!
