Five-Minute-Friday-4-300x300

I’m joining Kate Motaung for Five Minute Friday. One word prompt. Five minutes. No editing. Lots of women. All of us writing on that same word.

Today the word prompt is … Real.

I have been thinking about this prompt since reading of it last night. My thoughts have swirled in my head and I am not sure they will even make sense.

But I am longing for real people in my life.

Real, as in >> authentic, genuine, not fake, not merely called so, unfeigned, and sincere.

And I am thinking “real” people are harder to come by these days. This was the thought I fell asleep on. But then this morning, God wasn’t done with the whole concept of “real” as He asked …

“Are you real?”

It was with that question looming large before me, I realized we all need:

  • a Paul > a wise mentor, to push us in our faith.
  • a Barnabas > an encourager, who cheers you on when life gets difficult.
  • a Timothy > someone younger in the faith to pour into.

“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.” (Hebrews 10:24, NLT)

Let’s be real.

 

Today I am joining … Five Minute Friday and Faith Filled Friday and Dance With Jesus and Fellowship Friday .
