Dear Young Christian:
The other day I was glancing through the Air Canada in-flight magazine as I was flying between Toronto Canada and Bridgetown Barbados. This segment of an article on modern communication caught my eye:
“We are more connected than ever through social media and online networking, yet we’re also more disconnected than ever…Technology makes communication faster, but is it really better? You can’t make a genuine connection with someone by texting, emailing, or friending.”
Yes, everyone has dozens or even hundreds of friends, most of which they have never met in person.
Reading this article made me thankful for the personal relationship believers have with the Lord. Paul’s desire was, “That I may know Him” (Philippians 3:10). Let’s develop that relationship more this week, and get to know Him better as the “Friend that sticketh closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24).
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
