Our connection to brothers and sisters in Christ is used by the Holy Spirit to give energy to our spirit.  We confess the same Lord and are in-dwelt by the same Spirit.  “We are members of one another.”  We are one body, one family and partners on a journey.  The Holy Spirit mediates between spirits to reinvigorate us.  Christian friends are a means of grace to bless and strengthen the heart.  These connections are a priceless gift!

“Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.  Greet one another with a holy kiss.  All the saints greet you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.” 2 Corinthians 13:11-14 (NASB)
