Reflect Love Back

I’ve been considering the community God has put around me. He created us to need one another - to learn from and grow and challenge one another. We are not meant to live this life alone, isolated, away from others. God created us for each other. Maybe the most obvious example is in Genesis, when God said, “It is not good for man to be alone,” and created Eve. THATS just one example.
The early church in Acts knew what it meant to live in community. Over and over again, the people who made up the Church are recorded as meeting together - often daily - eating and living life and working together. We are made to bring life to one another. God created us to bless others by sharing our time and talents and gifts.
It can be easy to isolate and hide away. My feelings tempt me to do that quite often. And yes, there is a time and place to step away and sit quietly alone before God. But I think that we too often forget that God gives us one another as gifts. We are each beautifully different. God created us to need one another and to be blessed by one another. It may be cliche, but that’s because it’s true - “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17) God gave us community in a small way that reflects the heart of the Trinity. We were not meant to be alone.
If you’re feeling alone, I promise that you’re not truly on your own. I pray over your heart - that Jesus would begin to open your eyes to the people He’s placed around you. I pray for a supernatural peace to come over your heart. You are not alone.
