Family Bonding

Oh what joy in fellowship.

I believe that relationship is more the glue of this world. Just as there is this strong force that hold even the proton and neutron together, their is an incredibly, understated  force that holds us together. I am not saying that we are going to fall apart, literally. I am saying that we will not be together, healthy, well.

These protons and neutrons that make up all of life are held together by what science calls nuclear binding energy. I think that this energy can be a real hint into a well rounded, Christ-like life. It needs to be bonded with an energy source. Just like our bodies need the whole of all parts working together to function properly, we as the followers of Christ needs that same functioning. And just like our atoms that we are made up of, there is a force that has to be a constant connecting power between us. The Holy Bonding Energy. Aka: Holy Spirit.
I must share too. When one submits itself and allows this undeniable power to come and take over life living, it is unstoppable the effect that it will have on a people group.

I taste this. It is good. I know the wholeness that can come after a true meeting with one another. I know that it is a deep desire we all have to be in a place and know that you belong there. That you were chosen as one of the people meeting in that place.

This is the grace. These longings unfulfilled can be washed and dyed into a cloth of beautiful usefulness. To a tapestry of color with purpose. We have to make the first baby step to the connecting place. We have to enter into the atom where the protons and neurons are connecting and plug into the nucleolus using that great Holy Bonding Energy as our shelter and our guide. We can stand behind a shield of faith knowing that God is not going to lead us to a place of failure. Our most Gracious Heavenly Father does not want us alone. He has designed us for relationships. It is our energy source. He has provided a family for us. And He is the Loving Father actively watching over us all. Working Himself moment by moment into the weave of who we are

Oh how sweet it is when sisters and brothers gather together in unity! Psalm 133:1

For this I am Thankful
