Conversations: 5 Day Devotional PlanÖrnek

We need community. We need people in our lives who will not only celebrate our mountaintop victories but will also help us navigate through the valley moments that we face. Life is full of ups and downs, highlight reels as well as dark and difficult seasons. There is value in vulnerability and significance in being a safe place for those around us. Being able to be transparent without the fear of judgment and criticism is what we all need. Unless someone openly shares what they have been through, we never really know the depths of what they have endured. We have to be people who consistently respond with kindness and compassion; those who love the lost and lonely, pray for and encourage each other, and are readily available with open hearts and hands. As a community, we can openly share our stories in hopes to help others find the same healing and freedom that we have found in our own lives. If you don’t have a community like this, you can be the one who creates it and welcomes others into a space that could quite literally change their lives.
