There is something
above the relationship among Christians that is deep and nourishing. When two
Christians meet for the first time, there is an immediate bond. I remember one
day, as I waited for my husband to be done with a dental appointment, a woman
and I began a conversation in the waiting room.
The conversations
couldn’t have lasted more than ten minutes. In that very short time, we shared
family news and ended up talking about our favorite Bible studies. As my
husband came out, we hugged and said we would pray for each other.
My husband often
shakes his head as I make yet another best friend. That is the life Christ
gives us. We have true brothers and sisters all over the world. We have the
ability to pray for one another, to be close spiritually, no matter the number
of miles between us, and we forge instant connections. The relationships are
immediate and real, because Christ is in the center of them.
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and
everyone members, one of another. Romans 12:5
Keep on loving one another as brothers and
sisters. Hebrews 13:1
Father,
Today, we thank You for the body of Christ. Keep us united as
we take care of one another in love.
In Jesus name,
Amen
