Two are better than one

Wrap me in your arms
Where I will abide 
Closer to your love 
Pure and light 
Ascending like a dove 
Like a starving child I cling to you
Overwhelm me with the heavens above 
I want more of you,
Take all of  me...

    You said two is better than one 
So let us be two in one
One body
One mind
One soul
One spirit
One heartbeat
Binding with your covenant
Strung together by a three-headed cord
Standing strong, you hold us up
No one can break up what you put together
No one can separate us from your love

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 King James Version
9 Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the 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. 
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

God has created us to desire, want and need companionship whether it be romantic or non-romantic. We are called into fellowship with one another and you can see that it has been apart of God's design from the beginning of time when God created Adam and said that it is not good for man to be alone and then made Eve, a woman. You can even see this in the animals when the flood happened and God instructed Noah to take the animals by pairs of each kind into his ship to preserve them. Also, in the newer testament of the bible you can really see how important fellowship is with Jesus and the disciples. There are many more examples in the bible (which I encourage you to read :)) but through these few examples that I gave I just want to highlight one thing that they show, which is that it is not God's desire for us to be alone.

We will never be alone as long as we know that God is always with us, for he says, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:8), which he repeats throughout the whole bible. In addition, God brings people into our lives to help us along the way and they are what I call "destiny helpers" but we just have to ask him to help guide us to them because we are not meant to walk this life alone. Most importantly, don't choose to walk this life alone but walk with Christ and let him direct your steps because with him you cannot fail! We might stumble along the way but we will not fall because he is holding our hands and will catch us if we do, we just need to trust him.
