Go Out There To Connect

We need to have human connections to be real. This is something that we learn as we go along. If we don't know who lives next door, we are the poorer for it. How can we love our neighbor if we haven't taken a few minutes to talk to that person.

We are commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ to love one another and this is the only healthy way for us as believers. We may not feel like getting invovled. We may neglect the fellowship of believers but we grow weaker and less certain for our own withdrawal.

Wherever we are we need to "touch base" by not only reading the Word of God but also by being in personal connection to our "team" of believers. We are blessed when we hear someone else pray for our needs as they are blessed when we pray for them.

Jesus went around doing good but He didn't do it by himself. He had his disciples, weak as they were.  He had a team and He led them and taught them together. Yes, there were times when he took one or more aside but the norm was doing ministry together.

Do you have a big dream that God has given you to do? Don't think you can or should work this out by yourself. Share it with your Christian friends. If you don't have any: make some. How do you do this? You go to church. You talk to people. And you go have coffee with one or more or you serve in some way in the church and get to then reveal your dream to others.

God wants us connected to each other because we are the body of Christ. A leg or an arm can't do the job. A head or a toe can't do the job but when we all connect together, then we can see something happen in the Kingdom work. Don't give up. Get up and get connected. Start now! You'll be glad you did.
