“In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.”
– Ephesians 2: 21-22
You know, it’s important to connect intimately with God and with other people. And that’s not an either and or — you need both. Today I’m going to talk about the latter, what it means to be deeply connected in your relationships. In your love life, with friends, with your colleagues and with other people you do life with. It’s so important to have a deep abiding loyalty, friendship, connectivity and intimacy with the people you do life with. It’s the greatest need you have. But shame is the thing that gets in-between. That’s why we talk about dignity all the time. When you have dignity that’s found in the Kingdom of God, you’re given an incredible courage to take a risk and just go deep with people. And that’s such a good thing! |
Prayer
Lord, thank you for the ability to connect deeply with you and other people. Please give me dignity and courage to take a risk, to be vulnerable and to go deep with people.
Reflection
Do you take the risk to go deep with the people you do life with?
