How often we desire to be held, held by arms of love,
safety, security-offering strength and dignity to face life’s challenges. But sometimes arms are just too short. We need community to hold us up. We need compassion offered by community to
show us the face of Christ in the midst of our many losses.
The arms of community hold us up. The arms of community liberate us to not
suffer alone, but together knowing that we will all be liberated from decay one
day and brought into the freedom and glory as the children of God. (Romans
8:21)
Community is the fabric of our lives. Community holds it all together in our homes,
at our jobs, in our churches and families across this nation.
If we have good community how much we can accomplish together,
if we learn to trust each other and acknowledge the good gift in one another
and offer ourselves with no strings attached.
Forming community should be our priority wherever we are and
wherever we go. Life is too short.
We need each other to get to where we are
going. Let’s fasten the web of community in our lives.
Let's link arms. Let’s hold each other up in Christ, who holds all things together. (Colossians 1:17)
