[Accountability Partners]
"Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another."
- James 5:16a
Did you know that God wants us to have an accountabily partner? It says so in the verse above. It does not say 'If you want to, confess....and pray for one another', but it says plainly to 'Confess..and pray for one another.' He is not giving you options on this one guys. :)
We all need another Christian in our lives to discuss what is going on daily; what we struggle with and our prayer requests we have. God has blessed me with a few Christians like I am describing now.
We (my accountabililt partners and I), pray for each other about different things we individually and personally go through in our every day lives. God encourages me a lot through them. If we as Christians listen to God and obey His commands for our lives, then He will bless us and our lives.
Pray and ask God for a Christ-like friend to come into your life so that you can grow in your relationship with Jesus and also to help you partner stay focused on Him. Believe me, it is AWESOME to grow in Christ and to see someone close to you also do the same.
Diving Deeper:
Read John 15:12...What is Jesus saying to you in this verse? If you love others, let God use you as someone's accountability partner and friend to draw then and yourself in the process closer to Him. Show the love that God has shown to you. Remember that love never fails (1st Corinthians 13:8).
