One of the fundamental fears of people I have met is the fear of
isolation. We mostlylike to be in the company of others. Nowhere
has this been more tangible in thelarger cities where we can be
alone in the midst of thousands. This is not to say that
we do not have friends, just that there have been instances
where we are in thatcrowd and our friends are nowhere to be
found.
It is part of the character of the larger populations of the
city that communitybecomes dysfunctional. This is not a criticism
of the people in larger populations; infact it is probably a
character of the size of the town. As we get accustomed to thecity
we become accustomed to the need to compartmentalize our lives and
suddenlywe are members of this community and that community, and we
become used to thefact that we might not know the people next door
and across the street unless theyshare our passions.
This is not the model of community that Father has proposed for
His people. Right
through the sacred scripts we find that he endorses the notion
of community thatincludes enemies and forgiveness of those who
mistreat us. It is as we extend thehand of friendship and
forgiveness to the people who do not know better or thosewho do
know better and dont that we serve up Father Love to them.
It is this way that we display love in its most tangible form to
the ones who comewithin our circle of influence. They then, having
been influenced by Fathers love willat some time, turn to the one
who makes the difference in our lives: or not but that istheir
decision.
Jesus during His ministry years made much of the Kingdom of
Heaven. In fact Heushered it into being at the beginning of it. The
Kingdom of Heaven was made up of
those who followed the Master and abided by His teachings. They
were not Hebrewexclusively, they were Samaritan, they were Gentiles
and they were Romans. In factthe only requirement to be a part of
this community of Faith was compliance with theMasters teaching and
to follow Him.
Today those requirements still apply but we have complicated
them, much as theJews did when God sent Moses down with the Ten
Commandments. Today theChurch of Jesus Christ is fragmented and
divided by doctrine and pragma so thatpeople looking in become
confused and turn away to go another route.
I started this with a personal relationship with God and that
still stands. God is myMaster and the One who gives meaning to my
life. He supplies my every need and
points me in the right direction daily, now this said when I
have a desire even if it isfor His glory does not mean that He
supplies because I may have some learning todo or it may be a
future event.
But even so He has promised that He will be with me where ever
and that is theypromise that He has been faithful in, even when I
have been in deep doo doo. WhenI recognize my need He is there to
give me a hand up. Life is too vibrant to live italone, God knows
this and sends people to hold us up and support us, just as Hesends
us to support others. He is in the relationships we enjoy in our
life just as Heis by my side and your side as you live life
daily.
This is a Daily promise from the Father on high. I will be with
you even to the end of
days. Thank you Dad
