“Two are better than one for they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down one can help the other up…” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10a.

We become like those we spend the most time with! When it comes to trying to make life changes, it is imperative that we get around other people who have similar goals.

It can take a lot of searching to find a dedicated small group who are working a program to achieve a desired result. For example, if you are trying to lose weight and eat healthy, nothing is more important than being around others who have ordered their lives around becoming healthier. Do not give up looking!

It is powerful to have a group of people that you can be vulnerable and honest with because their job is to love you as well as hold you accountable to your goals. A vital part of finding freedom with food is being able to find a group of people who are dedicated to the same goals you are.

Dear God,

   Thank you for the way you designed us to need one another. The body of Christ is a way we feel your comfort and encouragement. Help me to be someone who can encourage others as well. Help me to find the right people to connect with. Amen.
