Its amazing how much things start to mean to you when you are stripped of everything you know. Things i have taken advantage of suddenly mean so much!
All my life i have lived in Christian circles. I have always been around Christians. Had Christian friends. Everything. And traveling the world where the Christians are few and far between, finding one is an automatic comfort.
The body of Christ suddenly means so much to me. Any time we have met fellow Christians in our travels its amazing the automatic connection we have with them. The love and sense of family that is automatically there. I can’t even really understand it other then to say that the Spirit with in us rejoices when we gather.
I have never really understood the power of encouragement or life that the body brings to one another. When one is on the glass-half-empty side of life, the others rally around and pour more in, until it overflows! It is such a beautiful thing. Something that I have never seen in any other aspect of life.
I love having family everywhere I go. Its a feeling that I have never fully appreciated. I love seeing how many different ways God works! And how many ways people worship Him and talk to Him and fellowship with Him.
Seeing how different worship is everywhere in the world is amazing to me! Asians worship different then Latinos. And Latinos worship differently then Haitians. And they are all different then America. But we all serve the same God!! How diverse and amazing He is!
And yet the body in all its diversity, has this untangle connection. And its beautiful.
Praise Jesus!!
