What are we to make of our adventures when God steps in to help us along? “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. When we are alone we can imagine all kinds of disasters and scare ourselves into paralysis. This is of no value to anyone. Unable to move, we may never strike out to discover what could be ours.
The universe holds numerous opportunities that break from our conventional mold. Companions come and go. They each bring something to the relationship, a bit of whimsy, a bowl of flowers, a simple gesture of approval or a kind act. Each such act and person asserts that we are not alone and that there’s plenty of support for all.
So why do we insist that we have to do it alone? It’s not possible. No one gets through life alone. We are certainly all influenced by each other and supported in some measure. “Bring two or three together”, God might say, “and watch them unfold graciously. Bring Me one who feels they are alone and I will show you a sad and lonely heart.”
