Proverbs 27:10 (CSB) "Don't abandon your friend or your father's friend, and don't go to your brother's house in your time of calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.
"The well-known six degrees of separation theory is a rule for the interconnected, globalized age we live in.

We need to love like God. If we will do that it does't matter who we meet or what we say; because it will all be done in love. When we pray for others, we will pray like it is our best friend of family member. When we offer grace and forgiveness we will do so as if it was our loved one.

Matthew 12:48-50 (KJV) "But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brothers! “For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
It is a very small world. Access to peoples lives is a privilege. Treat people as gifts because they are. Begin today to calla friend and thank them for the relationship you have. Thank God for all your connections and remember that person that brought you together. One day of favor is worth a lifetime of labor. Love never fails so reach out and don't be afraid to love others.
