The Others

“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)

Have you ever wondered why you are incomplete all by yourself? The truth is, God made us to need The Others. We may not know this until we fail, fail in a business, a marriage, a relationship or any other endeavor. We are incomplete without inputs from The Others into our lives. An independent spirit is one of the most detestable sins in God's eye for it is the highest form of pride. God has made each of us so that we have only so many gifts. He did not give any of us ALL of the available gifts. Hence, we need to depend on The Others and to trust them to complete us where we are deficient.

David had Jonathan. Moses had Aaron. Paul had Silas. Batman had Robin. Jesus had Peter and John. Martin Luther had Philip Melanchthon. Luther learned a great deal from his younger friend Melanchthon, who spoke many languages and was Professor of Greek at the University of Wittenberg at 21. Melanchthon helped Luther shape the Protestant Reformation through his research, writings, moral purpose, and conscience. Luther and Melanchthon were inseparable and were buried next to each other.

Has God placed someone in your life to complete you, to synergize your potential? Perhaps it is a spouse, a close friend or a business partner. If you lack The Others in your life, seek someone else besides Nicole Kidman to add some flavor into your life. If you already have that special someone, tell him or her how much you appreciate it and thank God profusely for the Bible says two are better than one.
