connections

Connections. Connecting. Are we better at connecting with those who support us, or those who need us? Human nature is to spend all of our time connecting with those who make us feel good, and to ignore those who need us, who sap our energy.

But, what does the kingdom ask of us? The kingdom asks us to spend our lives helping others find the love that we have experienced. That means that we have to learn to spend more time with those who need us than we do with those who feed us. Say that again, we have to learn to spend more time with those who need us than with those who feed us.

Actually, when you get out and do it, it is invigorating to help those who need you. Once you get in the practice of being connected to those who need you, it feels like home.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
