Philippians 2:1}–> Make my joy complete by being of
the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on
one purpose.
It is only when I share life's experiences with others
that I can enjoy them or endure them to the greatest advantage. This is
what the early Christians did. They learned quickly that survival would
go hand–in–hand with felloship.
You see, having a relationship calls for being in
fellowship with others, and that cannot be done very easily at arm's
length. It implies getting in touch, feeling the hurts, being an
instrument of encouragement and healing. Fences must come down. Masks
need to come off. Welcome signs need to be hung outside the door. Keys
to the locks in our lives must be duplicated and distributed. Bridges
needs to be lowered that allow others to cross the moat and then share
our joys and our sorrows.
