Matthew 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. (NLT) -Romans 12:13
Have you recently wished someone would open their home to you and provide a meal? Why do we reserve this time for only the closest relationships or remain private during this time? Eating a meal together breaks down barriers and builds up relationships. If you wish someone would be hospitable towards you, turn those thoughts around and be the first to extend an invitation to get to know an acquaintance or mend an old friendship. Make the world a better place, practice the often forgotten art of hospitality.

And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. (NLT) -Acts 2:44
From the moment of birth we are on a trajectory toward gaining our own independence. It's a principle our society values, but it does little to further our relationship with Christ or dependence on other believers. Performance and competition puts "I" before "we." While these thoughts are okay, they do little to bring us toward the body of Christ and leave us forfeiting the prize of the strength gained in community. If you are feeling lonely, seek out community. If the thought of community scares you, take a step of faith forward toward God with a group of believers.
