created for community!!!

I was reading 2 Timothy today. In Chapter 4 Paul urges Timothy to come "as soon as he can" because only Luke is left with him.  That hit me today as sad.  This man preached his heart out and served for years all over the known world at that time and now he’s alone in a prison in Rome about to die.  

Where were the Christians to encourage him in his final days? So often as Christians today we live alone in a crowd, just as in Paul's day.  People are so busy living their lives they forget to see those God has placed in front of them or to see those in need before them. No one wants to live life on earth alone and no one wants to die alone.  We were created for community.

I pray today you will see those God has placed before you and you will open your heart to serve them.  Have a blessed day!!!
