i need a friend who can help me grow in the lord.?

Answer 1

Honesty is usually a good place to start. Be honest with yourself always.

Next comes compassion and kindness. Give all you can do without.

And then mean it when you forgive yourself and others, too. You'll be on the right path...

Peace be with you.

Answer 2

Everyone has the same need, my friend.

Servanthood: A Call to Growth
Ephesians 4:11-16
Spiritual Growth:
Kids love to show off their height. They eagerly anticipate being tall enough to do all the things that their short stature currently prevents. Many parents record and celebrate their children’s growth, following the old tradition of marking heights on a doorframe.
God the Father also measures His children’s growth — He delights in seeing us reach new levels of spiritual maturity so that we can accept greater responsibility.
Because a new believer is like a little child in faith, his or her kingdom tasks are, at first, light. God is beginning the transformation process that will grow a saved human being into the image of Christ. The call to servanthood requires us to do as the Lord Jesus did: act humbly on behalf of our fellow man. When we successfully minister where we are called, new opportunities will open up and offer fresh challenges.
Spiritual growth impacts our fruitfulness; the longer we’ve been believers, the greater our service should be. That does not mean tasks will be highly visible. Satan tries to convince people that some jobs are trivial, but the moment a believer falls for that lie, growth is stunted. God will promote those who put forth the best effort, no matter what the task is.
Every opportunity to bless others honors the Lord and increases a believer’s wisdom and stature before Him. Much of God’s work goes on where only He can see it. But He is always measuring His children for future service, gauging how much closer we are to His goal for us and what new task will draw us closer still.

Good Question

Answer 3

hi miss shel,

ideally i think you should find a same-gendered friend at your church (perhaps someone a bit older than you, but who can still relate to you) so that you can have accountability, encouragement, as well as wisdom from their maturity with the Lord.

Do feel free to email me however if you have any questions or need any counsel regarding your spiritual life... i'm a youth/college pastor, so i can help you via email... but you need people to grow with and it's something you should find at the church you attend and not on yahoo.answers

Hope that helps. God Bless You,

Nickster

Answer 4

Jesus said I call you friends
He is a friend that stays with you, closer than a brother or sister.
Ask questions
we will answer them
You grow by reading the word, praying and asking Jesus to reveal himself to you. He said I will manifest myself in you, that means he will live inside you.
You are crying out for help, good!!!!
He hears that and he will help you..
Sounds like you are on a journey, maybe a little trial here to help you grow.
Trust him he will not fail you.
Read the words of Jesus, Acts will stir you, it did me.
Read about David, how he was a man after God's own heart.
He was the apple of God's eye
You can be too..............
