—Acts 9:22-31
by: Angie Osborn.
Paul was at a place in his ministry where things weren’t looking very good. Even the Disciples of Christ were hesitant to accept him, but then along came Barnabas. Barnabas befriended Paul when he needed someone to believe in him. He took him in when others wanted to turn him out.
Many times in my life, God has provided just the right friend when I needed one. Sometimes, those friends remain dear, close friends. Others are a part of my life for only a season, but all have a special place in my heart. Thank the Lord today for the friends he has given you to build you up; they are a gift from him.
