It's Part of Your DNA

Okay, I have 30 seconds to land this principle of life somewhere between your brain and your heart, so here goes...

We just got back from an awesome four-day Cruise in the Caribbean. It was a family reunion on my wife's side. Plenty of sun, fun, and food. While cruising, I observed a phenomenon more apparent than I ever had before. That phenomenon was clearly the fear of not being needed.

Now, I'm sure you've noticed that you like doing things with others you like; sports, dinner out, a movie, cards, coffee, camping, the beach. It's doing life together, aka, COMMUNITY. Here’s my point: All of us… kids, athletes, adults, even really smart or rich people need to be needed and need to be a part of something more significant than just themselves. It’s just how God hard-wired us. It’s built right into our DNA. You can’t get away from it, and if you try, it'll track you down like the IRS when you owe them something.

If we're ever going to reach the apex of SPIRITUAL MOMENTUM in our lives, then the ingredient of COMMUNITY is going to be essential. Without belonging to a spiritual community, we struggle, feel alone, left out, lost, and even lifeless at times. But God has a better plan. He created us to need others and for others to need us. And doing life together is far better than doing life alone.

Question of the day... Are you in a spiritual community?
