God didn’t instruct His church to gather just for the purpose of the physical meeting but for the spiritual impacts it generates in the life and community of His church. Listening to the testimonies of others strengthens your faith and gives you the courage to continue the fight of faith. A church that experiences regular answers to prayers has brethren who are committed to unity of purpose. You may never record a major testimony if you are constantly opposing the overall purpose of your group; God desires you to be a part of the body. To go the extra mile is the sign that you love and are ready to do your assignment with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Losses are shameful but restoration is a miracle of celebration; no man can wipe your tears like the One who created and knows you well.
