I find I need witnesses to stay accountible - even more when I want to hide. What a gift friendships are and yet other times, how difficult they are to maintain.
Friends are are witnesses of what we commit to do - and where we fail.
I need to promise them, to take the leap to reveal myself more to them - so they can help me to pray, to make amends to surrender. Their presense in my life should remind me of where I need to be to be to continue to grow.
It takes strength to use accountability.
And we know that where two are more are gathered...
And a rope of three strands is stronger
And also that people will let us down
And that everything we need for life and godliness is in scripture (Peter 1:3)
But when we fall, these friends can forgive me and help me begin again.
I do struggle with allowing friends to see "ME" I find it more and more challenging to develop friendships beyond casual level - even with my husband in a sense. We know each other, but it continues to be a challenge to go deeply.
Surrender to accountability, to teamwork, to friendships and to witnesses...
