Part 1 

Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? (Ecclesiastes 4:9-11 NKJV)

God doesn't want you to be alone. The devil always to cut off you from fellowship. We need Godly alliances, partner and friendship that we can pour out our problems. It's in the house of God. When you are in trouble, you can't see far, your vision is constraint. God can bring people that expand your constraint. 

Keep a lookout for kingdom friends! When you are talking about the things of God, your heart just feel warm. 

A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24 NKJV)

Be interested in others, you will be interesting. Favor is inside you. 

Many entreat the favor of the nobility, And every man is a friend to one who gives gifts. (Proverbs 19:6 NKJV)

It's being there for people. You make yourself attractive. You are generous in complimenting people using the appropriate words. It comes from a big heart. You will have a lot of friends to choose from. Before you have a life partner, have a circle of friends first. 

Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:12 NKJV)

You need a third in relationship, it's none other than JESUS. It's not easy to be broken. Something beautiful happen when we talk about The Lord, that's the strength found in every relationship. It's The Lord that holds everything together. 

Part 2

Sometimes we can't love the way we ought to. It's difficult for us to forgive. We can forgive once we know how much we are forgiven. 

We love Him because He first loved us. (I John 4:19 NKJV)

The reason we are not serving the way we should serve, is because we are not seeing him as a servant king. 

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. (I John 4:16 NKJV)

It's not enough to know you are loved, it's to believe, rely and abides in his love. DONT JUDGE HIS LOVE ACCORDING TO YOUR SITUATION. Cause the situation will goes up and down. 

The definition love of God is he became sins and gave himself up for us.  Look to the cross, it's steadfast.

Intimacy relationship with The Lord doesn't goes by feelings but it's by faith. It will work effectively when you establish in his love for you.
