Hey everyone! God has given me a great idea this week. It's an idea that a few other Christian sites have used, only, hopefully, taken to the next level.
The Reassuring Light group is a way for Christians to find someone they can talk to about their problems, tell of the great things God has done for them, pray for, and encourage each other to fill your spiritual ammunition.
Anyone who wishes to join need only post here. I'll then put your name up in the post below this one and add you to the group. Next, you need to pick someone off of this group and ask them if they would like to be your Reassuring Light partner. If they agree, then it is your responsibility to encourage and pray for that person, as it is for them to encourage and pray for you.
Try to contact your partner frequently (at least once a week, if possible) and ask them how they are, how their week has been, how their Christian life is going, etc. Ask them if they would like you to pray about anything for them, their family, their friends, their teachers, etc.
The point of this group is to lift each other up, as the Bible tells us to do (anyone know the verses that say that so I can put them here?) Please, only have one partner to keep things simple and to ensure that you do not neglect your partner.
You can do this with people you know offline, online, or people you haven't really met but are on the list. You may wish to do it with people you do not know in person as it will probably make it easier for you to talk to them.
When your partner asks how you are, don't just say "fine" or "good" like people tend to do, and when you ask your partner, really listen to their answer. People are bad about not really paying attention to the answer and more asking out of habit. Just be open with your partner and tell them what's going on.
So join up and help encourage your brothers and sisters in Christ. Besides, joining makes your name turn a cool shade of blue!
