"Teach us to be community, Jesus.
Teach us to be community.
Unify our hearts as one.
Unify our hearts as one." Ross King

What does community look like? It is something I have been pondering a lot lately and something I find very, very, very, very, very lacking in our American society. People here don't even know what true community looks like in order to seek after it. Those of us who have been truly blessed with genuine community, our hearts cannot forget it and our hearts cannot settle for less. I admit I miss it so. I miss being able to truly be yourself with someone, sins and all because you know they will extend the mercy and love of Jesus to you. I miss praying together with the girls in my life and really sharing our hearts and lives with one another. I miss the selfless love that comes from knowing the needs of others and being able to fill them. Oh what we are missing out on. "How beautiful is it when brothers dwell together in unity". We don't know what dwelling together looks like in this individualistic society of ours. Please help me to cultivate true community in those believers around me. Oh Jesus, by your mercy.... please teach us to be community.
