Is anyone else feeling the reality of how difficult it is to walk in real fellowship? It's not easy in this world!  We all live such self contained lives. The days of "going to the well" or the community center or even consistent overlap at church seem to be largely over!

Yet.  We are promised "more" in Christ. We are promised abundance. We are told we can walk in love, peace and joy. This isn't in a world without trial and tribulation. In fact we are promised those things too!! In Jesus most lengthy recorded prayer in John 17 he actually acknowledges this. He doesn't ask that we be spared, but rather given unity and protection from the evil one. It's pretty mind blowing that we can be held secure in him and that part of the way we learn how to stand in him is through being spurred on by one another through the Church! As messy and imperfect as the Church has always been, it is still the "bride of Christ" and the method God uses to refine us.
