Community

The personal computer was supposed to be the end of all community. We were told that we would all never leave our home and slowly but surely we would never talk with anyone again. What we didn't understand was the power of needing community. We all want to belong. We all desire relationships. Take for instance facebook. It amazes me that we have formed another community. People write on birthdays...they send notes...the invite people...they put people in pics...it is a cultural community.
While we all realize that we want to belong and fit in. We seldom think that everyone else is feeling the same way. We never stop to think what a simple note or comment would do for someone. We are so consumed with ourselves that we never even think about it. We are always waiting for someone to initiate with us.
When is the last time you engaged someone out of the blue with a conversation? When was the last time you complimented someone? When was the last time you smiled at someone with no agenda but letting them know you care?
There is the challenge...I pray that God will continue to change your worldview until you see His.
