Hebrews 4:14-16
14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we areyet he did not sin. 16Let us then approach Gods throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Of late, because of personal loss, Ecclesiastes has really been pounding me.
In particular, however, I have an affinity for:
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (MLB)
9
Two are better than one, because they gain a good reward in their
toil.
10 For if they fall, the one
will lift up his companion; but woe to the one alone who falls, when there is no
other to lift him up!
11 So if two
lie together, they keep warm; but how can one alone keep warm?
12 Although one may prevail against him who is
alone, yet two will hold out against him; and a threefold cord is not readily
broken.
We all need someone who will get naked with us. Not clothes naked, *soul* naked. Because we all fall. And we all need to be picked up.
I shouldn't be a downer, but there ya go. ;)
