Tonight I went to coffee with a new friend. It was extremely eye-opening. She revealed to me that she craved in-depth conversations about God and be able to candidly share what He has done in her life without feeling awkward.
It just hit me like a ton of bricks, like a freight train or whatever analogy you need...that people are hungry for Jesus and communion with believers, even if they are already saved! We are to live in community with others. How are we to function as the body of Christ if the parts of the body aren't connected?
Romans 12:5
"so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."
How many times do I pass people on the street, in the grocery store or even at church and not even make eye-contact? What if all they needed that day was a smile or one "hello" to keep afloat? I commit today to be more intentional and to ask Jesus who I am supposed to connect with that day.
Just a thought...
