An
internet Christian friendship is a very good
illustration of the kind of relationship we
have with our Lord. We do not have to see
the friend to know and understand them. We
have established understanding, how to help
each other, how to pray for one another, how
to show our compassion and love for one another,
how to laugh and have fun - all without having
ever seen each other. Many times it has been
without ever hearing their voice. So, therefore
we are communicating with the essence of our
spirits and with our written words.
What
a wonderful way to experience what our communication
with the Lord should be. We can speak with
Him, we can "see" Him in His written word
and in our spirits we can understand Him,
love Him, know how to help Him in service
to Him. The emotions and feelings from His
presence and His still small voice in our
hearts let us know that He is with us in spirit
and in truth.
So,
if you would believe and know that He is with
you, and you are having a hard time with that
when you can't see Him, just think of all
your online Christian friends whom you have
never seen and think how dear they have become
to you through who you are that they appreciate
and through who they are that you appreciate.
Why is this? It is because of His Spirit that
indwells each believer. His Spirit reaches
out and when He makes contact with another
in whom He dwells, He knows that He has come
unto His own.
We,
as believers are one in the Lord. We know
each other before the first salutation, for
our spirits are kin already. Keep an eye and
ear out for your kindred in the Lord. They
are there for enrichment, encouragement and
for delight as we labor through these days
upon the earth. They are there to help us
and may just have the answer to one of our
prayers within their presence and their communications
with us. In the same way, we can be there
for them, also.

The
Lord has known from the beginning that there
would come a time, such as we are living in
right now, where we would need to have quick
communication. Life has revved up so that,
many of us, have only minutes a day to call
our own, when we need desperately to reach
out to others and to receive from others validation
of our work for the Lord, encouragement to
keep on keeping on and ones with whom to share
the sheer joy of knowing and serving our Lord
Jesus Christ. May we continue to take territory
on the internet for His kingdom and for the
good of all mankind
In
loving prayer I ask our Lord to bless this
way of
communicating
and the using of it to serve Him,
in Jesus' precious name,
