"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3. If either wants to be king of hill, then they walk alone; with a mate by their side, in name only.

"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour," Ec. 4:9.

My mate is left handed, utilizing opposite side of his brain by comparison to side most males use, and God gave me analytical abilities. Yet, when God created either of us, He did not make a mistake. There are times when I make wiser business decisions. Though, he is quick to spot a con-artist.

"For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow:

but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up," Ec. 4:10.

Our strengths uphold each other.

"Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?" Ec. 4:11.

When we make Jesus our head, Jesus will stand with us. When both we and our mate make Jesus head, our stand is even greater.

"And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him;

and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." Ec. 4:9-12.

We gulp, give it a try, and conclude it does not work.

Scripture always works when properly applied. Perhaps we are friendly for what we can get out of it (Ja. 4:3), or we take meaning too lightly.

Jesus is our best model of what a friend could and should be. In all ways He has loved us, we are to love each other (Jn. 15:12). There is not much room for loneliness when our vessel is filled with love.

All it takes is enough compassion to be difference (Jude 22) and, in so doing, we can not out give God (Lu. 6:38). In staying course, we may also find desires of our heart (Ps. 37:3-4) and to have both found and become a friend like Jesus. The most beautiful part being that we would have become a best friend to Jesus, caring more about desires of His heart than ours. And when we walk with Him, we are and are being made complete.
