CommUNITY

i long for community. i long to be with god's people. speaking, learning, revealing, challenging.

there is a sense of UNITY in the spirit of god's people gathering together. in the realm of community there is oneness. there is clarity, there is energy, there is love.

we don't know all the right answers, and hell we all mess up. but with god as the pillar of our lives we always find our way out of the mess we've made.

so i propose an idea - when we find those in christ around us, we hold on. we connect, we build relationships, we learn from one another and encourage each other.

it is when we gather together and encourage each other that we feel empowered to reach out to others. or at least that is how i feel.

right now i see the true beauty in followers of christ ministering to each other - when they get together and the spirit in in the center there seems to be a sense of nourishment that comes from the gathering.

let us all join together and learn more about christ, ourselves and each other - so then we can reach those around us in love

feelings are real, we shouldn't be afraid of them, yet we are. instead we hid behind layers of our being.
the truth is hidden because it may not be accepted, or appropriate, or too early, or too late to say what we're feeling.

these masks keep changing and evolving into something different and they keep building on top of each other. at least until one day when they all fall off...

in reality feelings are REAL. they are something that should be expressed - they are a gift. although at times they feel like a curse...

these feelings can build a strong foundation or break someone to the core. either way they are real, and shouldn't be hidden.
