Community

Mentorship.
Friendship.
Relationship.
Intentionality and fragility.
Trust and commitment.
To walk together.
Alongside each other.
As one.
One body.
That’s beauty.
Safety.
A security that imperfectly reflects God’s reality.
In our humanity it’s flawed.
By law of our nature we crave it from people.
Yet as we savor it we taste a hint of bitterness.
Because it’s only a muddy reflection of fullness.
Unity.
Picking each other up.
Carrying each other’s burdens.
Motivated and compelled by love.
A commitment to care.
In and out of compunction.
Community.

That’s beauty.
