Accoutability Partners
This year, God really stressed the importance of accoutability partners. I mean REALLY. I was going through so much rough friendships during the beginning of my highschool life. There's something so different between Christian friendship and secular friendship. Having fellowship with believers is sooo authentic, so genuine.
Back then, living such a non-Christian life and remembering what i talked about. It's just such a waste. It was all about boyfriend-girlfriend issues, clothes, what i did at the mall, any type of gossip. My friendship with these guys was built on aboslutely nothing. I felt like Shakespeare, writing a crappy poem and hrowing it in the waste bin hundreds of times. Each day felt exactly like that but with my friendships now, it means so much. I treasure ever conversation i have with them. It always ends up being so powerful and sentimental. I wouldn't give up my accountability partners for ANYTHING.
And the amazing thing about partners like that is you don't have to be fake. I bring out my realest traits and they are sooo IMPERFECT and the crazy thing is that they don't care cuz they carry the same imperfections as me. Theres no judging. We don't suck up to each other, we give each other constructive criticism. Sometimes my advice hurts them and i see it on their face but in the end, i know im only helping them and they know it too.
And its so mutual, i use to always compare my faith with my accoutability partners wishing i could be like them sometimes but its not like that. Our relationships are so mutual, i give and receive. Theres something they gave me but in return, i can give back. Theres so much reciprocity. I love it!
I experience God more fully when i live in an open relationship with my godly friends. I draw so much strength from the testimony of God's faithfulness in others' lives. From my encounters, i've learned comfort. - Tyndale
Acts 4:32-35 All the believers were of one heart and mind, and they felt that what they owned was not their own; they shared everything they had.
