Whether we understand or believe it, we all crave relationships. And, it's not just the kind of relationships where you see people in passing. We crave relationships where we feel known and know others.
Whether we understand or believe it, we all need community. And, not just the type of community where we "hang" out. We need community where there is a frequency in contact and a reciprocation of genuine concern for one others's wellbeing.
Whether we understand or believe it, we all have the capacity to care for others. And, not just the type of care where you ask what you can do after a crisis and then quietly walk away. We are all capable of being the Christlike hands and feet to nurture each others' wounds from the world and celebrate the victories that come in various seasons.
Whether we understand or believe it, God first cared for us and created us for community.
