Ok, when you hear the name “Linus” you probably think of the peanut character that sucks his thumb and blanket. That’s cool and all, I love Charlie Brown, but the name means a great deal more to me now.
It all happened during class 2 weeks ago. I felt like God was putting it on my heart that I needed to really invest more in some of the girls here. There were a few wonderful ladies I had in mind. I talked to them about it and now we have a group called “Linus.” (I’m not sure how we got the name, but I like it.) It’s not a “bible study” or anything organized; it’s simply a set time to talk about what’s going on in our lives.
The reason why I’m sharing this is because it’s been such an amazing encouragement. I always have Thursdays to fellowship with godly girls, and the bible makes it so clear that we need this as believers. “If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.” 1 John 3: 12
I’d like to recommend, particularly all you college kids, to do this. Find a few girls (or guys, if you are one) to meet with every week. Get to know them; show them love. You can have a truck load of christians around you, especially in a Christian College, and not feel encouraged or be an encouragement.
“I’m sorta a built-in friend.”- Linus.
