sharing

Today I shared with a sister in the lord which I had not seen for about six months;as our conversation started I was very happy to hear from her. I asked how the family was as well as her husband.I continued "well" how's everything? she said OK. I asked questions like are you fellowshiping with the brethren -she went on to say no. work is Good,the family is fine --and do I need God- yes- but am I looking for Him like before -No. As I meditated in the conversation we had ,taking into consideration the congregation were this saint came from; an inner city church in which there were 4 to 5 services a week and work did not conflict with the worship and everything was really convenient.But what happens when we move to a different location and we loose the convenience that we once had?-were we had time for everything but now because of the commute, and long hours at work don't allow us the time for fellowship as before?. and now the main relationship that affects who we are ,what we do,what we say and the many other relationships that depend on our relationship with GOD suffers?. What do I say to that,we need to stay connected to God. As the branch is connected to the vine so we need to remain in Him for disconnected we can dry out.John 15:1-7.I personally live in an area that is as difficult as I mentioned here, but I cannot afford to dry out. when we are connected something happens -because of this connection, God allows power to flow from vine (which is Jesus) to the branch and that flow of life keeps me alive !!!!!!!.let us not dry out,we need to stay Connected.
