Community

I think one of the clearest ways we can see and experience God's undeniable love is through community. God created us for fellowship. From the very beginning in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve He desired to fellowship with us and for us to fellowship with one another. There are so many forms of community. My church, my work, my friends, my Facebook Nation, while all very unique, these are all community. Recently I started another online community, a group of Christ followers dedicated to reading His word in one year. Several of those in the community I hardly know however we all have the common bond of desiring to know and serve a heavenly Father.

God places us in specific communities for a reason. My prayer for all of us is that we will take the time to seek Him and to follow Him so that we can fulfill those reasons. You never know the impact a word, or a glance may have on someone in your community. So be open, be ready, listen and you will hear His call.

God bless.
