Ecclesiastes 4: A Cord of Three Strands
--------------
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
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.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
---------------
This is one of my all-time favorite passages.
God hasn't called you to go it alone.
By yourself, you are too easily broken
Who can you lift up today?
How can you warm somebody's heart?
Lots of people feel overpowered,
But they don't have to feel they are alone.
You, a friend, and God form an unbreakable bond.
