This is an excerpt from an email that I received from my Dad a couple months ago regarding friendship. It is so true, and I think it applies to my life in more ways than one right now.
God will always be faithful and will bring a "Barnabas"; a "Timothy"; and a "Paul" into your life at just the right time. (a Barnabas is someone who will "pour into" our life; a Timothy is someone who we can pour our life into theirs; and a Paul is someone who is on the same path as us and will walk along with us and we can just share life together.) Remember... Barnabas' and Timothys are just as important as Pauls, but some times we need to be a Timothy to someone before God brings the Paul into our lives.
I love that. I feel like I've exhausted my efforts at being a "Timothy" right now, so I'm praying for a "Paul" to come along, before I give up. I can't wait for the day when I have a friend to share life with.

That is amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo true.
ReplyDeleteugh! That is awesome! I copied and pasted that so that I can post that on the inside of my kitchen cupboard (where I keep treasures from the Lord and prayer requests).
