Living in any community is not always easy. Even in a small group of people (family sized) there will always be something that will cause us frustration. The same applies in churches, schools, places of work and social clubs - little irritations crop up which cause us to pull away from these groups of people for a while.
In the end, it is the desire to belong and be connected, that draws us back into community again. We were designed to be in community! As Trevor
Hudson remarked – “Clearly, the climate for growth and deepening in discipleship is
community. We can’t become the people God created us to be without experiencing
divine and human relationships.”
Solomon agreed. He wrote “Two are better than one, because
they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one
can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and
has no one to help them up." (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)
