The Upper Room November 10, 2014 - Feeling Alone? Be of the same mind one toward another. - Romans 12:16 (KJV) Todays Devotional My mom died when I was almost four, so my dad and great-grandmother raised my siblings and me. Because of that particular loss, I always felt like an outcast at school. But my outlook on life changed dramatically when I was in the sixth grade. Until then, I had never met another student who had lost his or her mother. I will always remember my response when I heard one of my classmates giving a report. During her report, she mentioned that her mom had died. I tried to listen carefully and absorb what she was saying. I remember how glad I was to know someone who had experienced the same type of loss that I had. That single encounter changed the way I viewed my mother’s death. I believe sometimes in our spiritual lives we want to find someone who feels the same way we do about God. Whether at home, school, or work, we want to be understood. Fellowship is a powerful tool that can be used to foster communication with others and to serve God. I am grateful that God loves us enough to allow others to cross our path at just the right time.
