Love God Greatly - Made for CommunitySample

Two are better than one. Introvert or extrovert, God has designed us to be in community with other people. As Ecclesiastes states, the world can be a hard, cold place, but healthy relationships with people are meant to support, encourage and strengthen us along the way. For many, it is tempting to live life in isolation, but when we live this way, we miss out on the blessing of companionship that God has provided for us through other people. Are you prone to division and isolation, or have you opened yourself up to a community of people with whom you can support, encourage and strengthen – and in turn be supported, encouraged and strengthened by? Remember, one of the best ways to find this type of loyal companionship is to first extend a practical hand of friendship. How might you take steps towards living more intentionally in community with people today?
