A Man With No Friends

If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Ecclesiastes 4:10

You may be blessed with close friends and family but many people are not. There are very lonely people around you. I wonder how many suicides could have been prevented had there been someone who befriended someone when they got that Holy Spirit nudge.

What does a man or woman, boy or girl do when they have no one to confide in and trust to talk to? There have been ‘friend’ and ‘counseling’ help lines spring up for those who need someone to talk to. Also many ministries have 24-7 prayer lines and I will include a few of these at end of this devotion.  

You never know how that friendly smile or hello to a stranger might impact their day. Also paying for someone in the drive thru who is behind you. Writing a note of encouragement to a serviceman or woman overseas away from family is a good way. Loneliness is an epidemic right now due to Covid regulations impacting nursing homes and many other places. People need people and we need human touch to thrive and survive. Go be kind or write an actual letter with a stamp to someone you have not been in contact with for a while. It will make both of you smile.

PRAYER: Help me Father to find a person who needs a touch from you and use me to deliver kindness as your vessel. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
