Meeting with other Christians is a Blessing

God did not create us to live in solitude. He desires that we have healthy relationships with those around us. Our brothers and sisters in faith are treasures from God in our lives, helping us on our journey with the Lord. Therefore, we should value each one, and avoid conflicts, treating everyone with God's sublime love.

not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:25

Do not stop congregating. It is very important to stay connected to a faith community where the Word of God is proclaimed faithfully. Where you can bless and be blessed by communion. Many brothers and sisters leave their congregations and by distancing themselves from the family, take the risk of walking alone. But listening to messages and sermons online is not the same as being part of the Church of Christ.

The Church is like a large flock of the Lord, shepherded collectively. Sheep alone become easy targets for the Enemy.

If you are away from communion with the church, it is time to return! God wants you to grow spiritually alongside a family that is also growing. There are no perfect churches, but you can contribute to make yours more like Jesus. Be the person you hope others will be to you. Love, care, help, support, and encourage other brothers and sisters in faith to persevere in the Christian journey.

Bloom like the palm tree

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
- Psalm 92:12–13

Do you want to flourish in life? Do you want to bring beauty wherever you go? Remain united with the Lord and with your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Just as the palm tree grows even in desert places and blooms amid difficult circumstances, you too can remain firm and flourish in the situations you face every day. You will do this by holding the Lord’s hand, living in His presence, and exalting His name every single day.

Do you feel as if you are in the middle of a desert? With Christ, you can flourish and remain fruitful. Stay close to God; do not let hardships separate you from Him. Seek God with enthusiasm and quench your thirst in Him. Do as David did when he was in the middle of the desert: seek the Lord with all your heart!

You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
- Psalm 63:1–2

God will help you keep the right perspective even in the difficult moments of life. Keep your eyes on Him and you will see His glory shine. You will regain hope and move forward strong and firm in it.

Flee temptation!

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
- Matthew 26:41

Among his many works, C.S. Lewis wrote an interesting book titled The Screwtape Letters. In it, our attention is drawn to the many and varied schemes of the Devil in tempting God's children. At one point Screwtape, a demon, writes to his nephew, 'Junior Temper' Wormwood: "I have great hopes that we shall learn in due time how to emotionalize and mythologize their science to such an extent that what is, in effect, a belief in us (though not under that name) will creep in while the human mind remains closed to belief in the Enemy."

We must not forget that the Enemy of God is cunning, hates us, and wants to destroy us. He will constantly navigate us towards sin in creative and ingenious ways. That's where the danger lies...

That's why it's so important not to let our guard down! Evaluate your own life, and notice which areas are more inclined to give in to sin. Watch over them and pray, calling upon the Lord for help!

When temptation is strong, the Bible's advice is to flee. Recognizing your weakness and getting out of a dangerous situation is not a reason for shame - it's evidence of being wise. This is especially true for sexual temptation and other very strong temptations. Avoid situations where you know you will be tempted. Submit to God; He will help you overcome your struggle against sin.

Flee from the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
- 2 Timothy 2:22
