I am really in a spot of bother.
I am a loner. I really am. I signed up for the charter many years ago and love my own company.
And yet …
The more I read of Jesus, the more I see how He invested in the life of others, the more I see how much relationships meant to Him, the more I consider God’s eternal purpose being inextricably linked to relationship and the more I consider life in Christ being the springboard for enjoying life in relationships, the more my grip on the loner status begins to weaken.
That’s not all. When I look back and see the most enjoyable times in my life and note that the vast majority hae taken place in the company of someone else or others, and recall how pivotal people have been to my development. When I consider the love of people in my life, whether they are people that I know from a long time ago, or people who I enjoy following on Twitter that I harly know. They all enrich my life.
In a world that lauds an applauds individualism I am becoming more and more disillusioned by that path, and I’m sure there are those who know there is more to life than this.
So there is serious consideration of looking at that membership again.
For His Name’s Sake
