I Thessalonians 1:1
What can you possible get out of an introduction? A lot. Flip through the New Testament and look at the first verses of some of the letters Paul wrote. Notice anything? Paul rarely wrote a letter alone. It's always Paul and Timothy, Paul and the brothers, or Paul and Sosthenes. Why did Paul always mention these other people if he was doing all the writing? Well, Paul wasn't a loner. He knew he needed other people--his community--to fully follow God. And so do we. Walking with God isn't an isolated action.
If you had to write a letter to a group of Christians who lived far away, then whose names would you include at the top of your letter? Who's walking beside you in your Christian journey? If no one comes to mind, then maybe it's time to start cultivating more Christian friendships. Thank God for the strong Christian friends you have.

Ask God to show you ways you can grow closer to other Christians.
