“Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa.”

I am reading that MaorI proverb in the book RAIN, HAIL OR SHINE by Tricia Irving. Here is the English translation:

“Let us keep close together, not far apart.”

Under the paragraph “Companionship” it says there also, “We need talk, fun and laughter. Have regular contact with other people. This can take some effort, but give it a go. It can make such a positive difference.”

Can I please add to that : Have regular contact with the Lord Jesus Christ. Talking to the Lord Jesus Christ makes all the difference.

This promise is recorded for us in the Word of God:

“DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD.” – Philippians 4:6

Can you hear the Lord Jesus Christ saying to you now,

“LET US KEEP CLOSE TOGETHER, NOT FAR APART?”
