Merea is a Hebrew word and it means trusted friend and companion; one who feeds, tends and nurtures another. It describes who we are as sisters in the Lord. We are to encourage one another into good and Godly choices. It is a beautiful thing to grow in relationship with God in the midst of relationships with other women.
I hope that you'll use this blog as a place to communicate prayer requests, keep up with group members over the summer and share the joy you have in your growing relationship with the Lord.
P.S.-- I bought a coffee maker after Bible study today. :-P Thank you, my dear mereas, for spurring me on to serving beyond myself.
