The Line

Someone was talking to me about how they were unsure of where the line was between depening on God, and depending on the body of Christ. I also was unsure where that line was as well.In English, I am reading a book called speak. ( GREAT BOOK! ) It's all about this Girl who got raped and was an outcast through her whole first year of high school. During class today, we had questions that we had to first discuss with a small group at first and then with the whole class. One of the questions were about a quote that the girl in the book's teacher ahd said to her. It was, "You must walk alone to find your soul." As we were discussing it, God just spoke to me. He told me that, to walk alone doen't mean to be alone. Our walk in our lives is not to be alone in life, because why else would God place us with a body of belivers. But to walk alone is to figure out who you are and to solve your problems by yourself, but with God in you to guide you along the way....So the line there is that we are to be with the body of belivers, encourage each other, and just love each other. We are not to expect that someone will give us all the answers to our problems.... We are to go to God because after all he created us, who better to tell us what to do in crappy situations. He is the only one who can satisfy our needs, because if he wasn't, he wouldn't even be there. So I say this that we can surrender our lives to God, so that we may find our true selves.
