A Community of Love
We all carry a yearning for God in our hearts. We all
live on earth with the Holy Spirit within us and among us. We
all are in community because of that, and God yearns for us to
know it and to live it.
God wants us to be in community with all its nurturing gifts and
its call to us to minister to one another. ... We live in
community, even when we go off by ourselves.
Remember the old song:
"I see the moon and the moon sees
me;
the moon sees somebody I want to see.
God bless the moon and God bless me,
and God bless the somebody I want to see."
To be in relationship with God is to be in relationship with
every person who is also in relationship with God. And we
do not need to speak the same language or have the same
accent to be in true community.
We have only to realize that we are all part of God, and to
keep that uppermost in our mind and spirit as we live and
relate to each other.
