Life can feel lonely, even when we’re surrounded by people. We have more connections than ever but often fewer deep relationships. In Mark 2, four friends carry a paralyzed man to Jesus, showing the power of real friendship and community. We all face struggles we weren’t meant to carry alone. God created us to have people who show up, help us open up, refuse to give up, and point us back to Jesus. True friends don’t have to fix everything; they help carry us toward hope, healing, and the life change only Jesus can bring.
