In Search of Fellowship

This is a new song about searching for where I belong. I dedicate it to all those who are searching for their place in the body of Christ... Fellowship is vital for the believer. Even Paul stated that as much as he enjoyed making his rounds and encouraging others to spur on, to run the good race, that he too needed that in return just as much. They say Iron sharpens Iron and this is true. It is great to belong to a Bible Study group that is truly seeking meat. It's one thing to read the word alone, but to truly get the most out of it, you need a circle of seekers to get as many morsels as possible in one sitting. I miss that. I miss my circle. I miss my choir. I miss being a part of a community.
Sadly, the ugly part about church is the truth that so many of those you thought would be your forever friends; that group that would see you through the bumps and battles in life, end up being ones that won't even say two words back to you in your darkest moments. It's why there is this thing called church hurt. I think it is as close as you can come to God rejecting you. Thank the LORD that that rejection would never happen, God is love and love is God, but when those in high places that are to be the reflection of Him are the ones handing out the rejection, it's a tough pill to swallow. IF that has happened to you, I pray that you follow in my foot steps and get back out there ~ not everyone is like that. Scripture warns us that we sit among wolves in sheep's clothing. Don't let that keep you from seeking fellowship. It is just another tactic by the Father of Lies and we as the children of God must go forth in the fight. Let us not forget, the harvest is plenty, the workers are few and those of us who have stood firm have a lot of work to do. May we have fun as we get the job done! In Jesus name I pray. Amen!
