Reading – Isaiah 1:16-28

Highlight Verse:

“Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Last night, for the first time ever, I watched Napoleon Dynamite.

Now I can officially say, “Huh?”

It was … different.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I was Napoleon Dynamite (minus the dancing on stage).

I was that awkward kid who got picked on by the jocks and whose home life was, shall we say, less than ideal.

To some extent, I grew out of it.

But I couldn’t have done that without my friends.

People stood up for me. They helped me find my strengths. They stood by me when no one else did, not even myself.

I hope I’ve been that friend too.

Do you have friends who stood by you when no one else did?
Have you been that friend to someone else?
