Line 34: Line 34:     
If all of you here today were to stand in an open field yards apart from one another, each one would be somewhat vulnerable in the sense that you could be knocked over. You would be somewhat weak in that for you to communicate or transfer an object to another across the field would take great effort. Spiritually this is the significance of fellowship. Imagine now you all shoulder to shoulder in one bundle. Now you are strong. Individually you cannot be toppled. You can pass your information to one another through the hands of fellowship. Through this bonding you acquire the skills of another indirectly, for your fellow with these skills acquired can assist you in accomplishing your goals. And the reverse is true. When you feel isolated take time to feel the presence of the shoulders of your friends. Take time to acknowledge that fellowship and derive strength therefrom.
