Real FriendsSample

Without realizing it, most of us tend to view our friendships as one-way streets. Our friends are there to make our lives better . . . ·  To give US people to sit with at lunch. ·  To give US people to go to the game with ·  To give US people to have fun with on the weekend. But what if our friendships aren’t supposed to just go one way? Today’s verse encourages us to think about ways we can spur each other on. And while that might sound like a lot of work or effort at first, it really doesn’t have to be. Spurring one another on might just mean making sure everyone’s included in the group text. Or it might just mean showing up at the game to cheer on a friend. Whatever the case may be, spurring one another on doesn’t have to be daunting, weird, or take a lot of effort. It just requires you to be intentional about making your friendships a two-way street! How can you intentionally spur on the people in your friend group this week?
