perfect space

I believe that we all are trying to find a place to belong and a place to fit in.  Even the non-comfortists have their own place.  The time of extreme individuality is not so far removed from the categorical classification of our own subsets of community.  

Jesus invites us to share in community with Him, and with one another.  He not only invites us to share in His love, but to become his 'friends'.  Abraham and Moses are the only two in the Old Testament that are described in such an intimate way with God.  I wonder, do you feel close to God in such a way?  

We are created by and for community.  You have a place in God's family and there are brother and sisters in Christ that are waiting to connect with you.  I believe we have a longing for relationships... with God and with one another.  Take advantage of an opportunity to share your life with someone else.  

"I wanna have friends that I can trust,
that love me for the man I’ve become not the man I was.
I wanna have friends that will let me be
all alone when being alone is all that I need.
I wanna fit in to the perfect space,
feel natural and safe in a volatile place." - The Avett Brothers.
