i'm so greatful for my husband - i've known him for a while and throughout our friendship , dating and marriage he's been probally the closest person to me - he can call me out on things- he sees my sinful nature - he sees the things i can't see and don't want to see. And though it is hard to deal with those aspects in my life and i tend to not want to - i think a lot of people don't want to think about themselves in a negative light - but i am greatful that i have someone who loves me enough to do this for me but not only does he do these for me he encourages me in my daily walk and life. Which is awesome. i also had great friends that i could turn to which was a huge blessing.
anyways my point is this :

We are called to live in community; this impacts not only our understanding of personal needs and our interpersonal relationships, but also our struggle against temptation and sin. Praying for God to “deliver us from the evil one,” means embracing one of the greatest protections God has given us: each other.

As brothers and sisters in Christ, we protect each other from self-delusions. Sin is deceptive (Heb 3 v. 13). We usually sin because we rationalize our behavior. We convince ourselves it’s no big deal. Our heart and will surrender to the excuses of our mind, and only someone else can point out our self-deceit. A loving brother or sister needs to say, “You’'ve got it all wrong. And you’re headed for disaster.” In addition to admonition, we need encouragement when we’re ready to throw in the towel.

One of the best and hardest parts of Christian discipleship involves our relationship with other believers. Sometimes it seems easier to go it alone. But that misses our calling as part of the body of Christ, the great building of God (see 1 Cor. 3).

Hebrews 3:7-19

i really loved these verses cause it shows how important fellowship is and makes me so greatfull for the fellowship i have in friends, family, and the church.
