Fellowship

I'm off to work, but just read this and it reminded me of how
much of a blessing you all are to me because of the love in you.
FELLOWSHIP
�God is faithful, by Whom ye were called unto the fellowship of
His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.� (I Corinthians 1:9)
The Greek word for �fellowship� is �koinonia�, synonymous with
communion, and literally means, �the act of using a thing in
common.� We might wonder why our fellowship with some people is
so limited; it is because we have very little in common for
sharing. Often times it seems to be on a very low level, just
natural things � news, weather, family interests, etc. And we
yearn for that deeper level of sharing on those spiritual
things, which enrich the inner man. Praise God, the Scripture
does foresee that day when �the watchmen see eye to eye�,
(Isaiah 52:8), when we �all come into the unity of the faith�,
(Eph. 4:13). Till then, regardless of our fellowship with
others, the greatest and best of all communion is that which is
shared with our Lord Jesus Christ.
�Tis not among the clam�ring throng
That mixes up the right with wrong,
With faster beat and wild-wind song,
That fellowship is mine.
But when I find a lone retreat
In spirit, at the Master�s feet,
And at His table freely eat,
�Tis fellowship divine.
His blood, His body, yea, His life
Imparted now, quells inner strife,
And clears the atmosphere that�s rife,
For fellowship�s design.
So, if a lonely path you walk,
While thru the night a terror doth stalk,
Just still thy heart, and hear God talk,
And fellowship is thine.
