Devotions in Motion

Day 2

Flip to Galations 6:1-5 and see what you should be carrying for your friends.

GOD Says
Andrew and Jared were friends at church , but they didn't hang out much together at school. It wasn't that they didn't like each other; They just hung out with different groups. Jared played on the school soccer team and spent most of his time with the kids on the team and Andrew hung out with the skaters. One day, Andrew stood a few people behind Jared in the lunch line and heard Jared and his friends making fun of the lunch lady, saying really mean things about her.
The next night at youth group, Andrew walked up to Jared when he was alone and said, "I heard what you were saying about Lunch lady Lu Anne yesterday. I know you probably didn't mean to, but it sure didn't sound like stuff a christian should be saying."

I Do
Some times your friends will tell you things that are hard to hear, and sometimes you'll have to tell your friends things that are hard to say. A friend might try to tell you a way you were sinning or might feel God wants you to say something to one of your friends.
As you walk with God today, ask him to help you listen to your friends and ask him to give you the right words to say to them.
