I need you
and you need me. Do you really need
anybody else at home, at work, with friends?
Who do you need? Think about
it. Why do we need others? Identify people or groups. When is the last time you actually thought
about those you need in your life? When
is the last time you thanked the people around you for their support and encouragement? When is the last time you thanked the members
in your family for their love and helpful tasks? Who were the people who helped you achieve
your goals in ministry? Write down who
you need in the different walks in your life.
Building a
life together with others and/or working with a team depends on how satisfying
these relationships are. We are not on
an island by ourselves. With every new
person in the circle, different ideas and individual needs enter the
picture.
I need you
and you need me. Our friends are the
mirrors in our lives. They help us see
how we project ourselves to others. I
believe God has given us each other in the Christian community to witness to
the world that Jesus loves us all. Jesus
came to show us how to love. It is not
so much how we speak but how we live our lives that others see and want to join
our families and teams. At camp when
asked campers why do you want to be a part of the faith community. Hands down they would say it was because they
saw how the staff and counselors loved and supported each other. Their love for each other and God was
contagious. Jesus came to show us how to
love even to the death. Let us celebrate
Jesus’ resurrection by being intentional positive witnesses of that love.
