"A friend in need is a friend indeed," as the saying goes. It may not always be convenient to reach out to someone in need but there is NEVER a truly bad time to do so. Charity is a fairly well-known Lenten theme and that is a great thing to do during Lent. But what about your own friends? What about people who are going through a lot in their lives? What about people who need someone to talk to? Think about what you stand to lose if you were to set aside what you are trying to get done. Then think about what the other person stands to gain if you just reach out and be a friend. You'll probably recover from your setback but in the process you will make your friend's day, week, month, year, or life. So during the remainder of this Lenten season (the rest of March plus a little bit of April), reach out to someone for fellowship and go help a brother out. It will make your life better as well.
John 5: 1-16
