Many people make light work.
Team work makes a dream work.
There is strength in numbers.
All catchphrases that have been tossed around in group settings.
As you read through the Bible you rarely find situation where God is saying anything about living alone.
This years journey has shown me that we as humans are only able to move forward and up when we allow the community around us to lend a hand, pitch in. I have noticed that when tragedy hits like a natural disaster or a mass shooting, its the community that come together for the families. Clean up, make meals, offering to help with services. Because lets face it, we do no like to feel alone. We don’t want any one to feel alone in tragedy hits.
But what about the in between. What about when times are good. Yes we show up. Ball games, family birthday parties, church potlucks, guys hunting trips to girls night out. All gatherings that happen with 2 or more people in a group.
Yes we all enjoy moments alone reading a good book, or enjoying time at the spa etc.
From the very beginning when God created man saying, “8Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”
He brings in animals to be companion for man, but nothing was suitable for man. As you may know already
21So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening. 22Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man.
So all this to bring around the point that its in our design to be around people. Sure there are people that have different personalities but at the core we need each other.
God has given me a mission this year to reach His sons and daughters here in the U.S. I have spent the last five months traveling listening to the heart of His sons and daughters, and all say the same thing, “Its hard to find community that is honest, gospel centered etc.” We all want to feel like we belong, we all want to feel like we are making a positive impact in the community we are living in.
I am so blessed to be a part of a community that is daily practicing living out a what a biblical community could look like. Living in van, traveling every five to seven days, with lots of opinions, but we get to the heart of what God is asking us to do and then we go and do it.
